Analysis

In 2024, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from industrial processes in Pakistan stood at 25.75 Mt CO2e. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.7% on the previous year and up 44.9% over ten years.

Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from industrial processes in Pakistan peaked at 25.75 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 1.7 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

Pakistan ranks 18th of 203 countries on this measure, in the top 10%.

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 processes including IPCC 2006 codes 2.A.1 Cement production, 2.A.2 Lime production, 2.A.3 Glass Production, 2.A.4 Other Process Uses of Carbonates, 2.B Chemical Industry, 2.C Metal Industry, 2.D Non-Energy Products from Fuels and Solvent Use, 2.E Electronics Industry, 2.F Product Uses as Substitutes for Ozone Depleting Substances, 2.G Other Product Manufacture and Use and 5.A Indirect N2O emissions from the atmospheric deposition of nitrogen in NOx and NH3. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
