Analysis
The most recent figure for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in Kenya is 3.65 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
That represents a change of up 2.0% on the previous year and up 46.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in Kenya peaked at 3.65 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.6146 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Kenya 71st out of 193 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 55 years of available data.

About this data
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).
