Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Building (Energy) in Libya, 1970–2024
Source: EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission. Measured in Mt CO2e.
Analysis
In 2024, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from building (energy) in Libya stood at 1.2 Mt CO2e.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 5.0% on the previous year and down 25.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from building (energy) in Libya peaked at 2.59 Mt CO2e in 2003 and was at its lowest, 0.3665 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
Libya ranks 93rd of 193 countries on this measure, 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 building sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.4 Residential and other sectors, 1.A.5 Non-Specified. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
