Analysis
In 2024, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from waste in Belgium stood at 0.0203 Mt CO2e.
That represents a change of down 0.5% on the previous year and up 7.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from waste in Belgium peaked at 0.152 Mt CO2e in 1993 and was at its lowest, 0.0189 Mt CO2e, in 2014.
Belgium ranks 24th of 100 countries on this measure, in the top 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 waste sector. This includes emissions from solid waste (IPCC 2006 codes 4.A Solid Waste Disposal, 4.B Biological Treatment of Solid Waste, 4.C Incineration and Open Burning of Waste) and wastewater treatment (IPCC 2006 code 4.D Wastewater Treatment and Discharge). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
