Analysis
In 2024, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from transport (energy) in Eritrea stood at 0.2517 Mt CO2e.
That represents a change of up 2.1% on the previous year and up 31.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from transport (energy) in Eritrea peaked at 0.3836 Mt CO2e in 1996 and was at its lowest, 0.0584 Mt CO2e, in 1972.
That places Eritrea 171st 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.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the transportation sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.3.a Civil Aviation, 1.A.3.b_noRES Road Transportation no resuspension, 1.A.3.c Railways, 1.A.3.d Water-borne Navigation, 1.A.3.e Other Transportation. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
