Analysis
In 2024, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from transport (energy) in Myanmar stood at 13.54 Mt CO2e. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
The figure is up 4.4% on the previous year and up 241.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from transport (energy) in Myanmar peaked at 13.54 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 1.04 Mt CO2e, in 1992.
That places Myanmar 57th 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 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).
