Analysis

In 2024, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in Congo stood at 0.1138 Mt CO2e.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 1.3% on the previous year and up 54.2% over ten years.

Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in Congo peaked at 0.1431 Mt CO2e in 1970 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1998.

That places Congo 154th out of 193 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.

A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from industrial combustion (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.2 Manufacturing Industries and Construction. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
