Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) in Lebanon, 1970–2024
Source: EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission. Measured in Mt CO2e.
Analysis
In 2024, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from power industry (energy) in Lebanon stood at 1.99 Mt CO2e.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.5% on the previous year and down 85.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from power industry (energy) in Lebanon peaked at 15.67 Mt CO2e in 2017 and was at its lowest, 0.5227 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Lebanon 108th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from electricity and heat generation (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.1.a. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
