Analysis
Malaysia recorded 128.68 Mt CO2e for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from power industry (energy) in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
The figure is up 5.4% on the previous year and up 31.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from power industry (energy) in Malaysia peaked at 128.68 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 1.95 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Malaysia 17th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
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).
