Analysis
In 2024, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from power industry (energy) in Peru stood at 14.4 Mt CO2e. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
The figure is up 11.5% on the previous year and up 24.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from power industry (energy) in Peru peaked at 14.4 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 1.41 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Peru 58th 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).
