Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) in Yemen, 1970–2024
Source: EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission. Measured in Mt CO2e.
Analysis
The most recent figure for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from power industry (energy) in Yemen is 1.66 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
The figure is up 0.4% on the previous year and down 70.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from power industry (energy) in Yemen peaked at 6.36 Mt CO2e in 2013 and was at its lowest, 0.1845 Mt CO2e, in 1973.
That places Yemen 113th 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).
