Analysis
Gabon recorded 0.1979 Mt CO2e for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from transport (energy) in 2024.
The figure is up 1.6% on the previous year and down 76.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from transport (energy) in Gabon peaked at 0.8485 Mt CO2e in 2013 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Gabon 174th 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).
