Analysis

Uganda recorded 0.1276 Mt CO2e for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from power industry (energy) in 2024.

The figure is up 1.8% on the previous year and up 17.3% over ten years.

Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from power industry (energy) in Uganda peaked at 0.7954 Mt CO2e in 2010 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

That places Uganda 165th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

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).
