Analysis

The most recent figure for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from power industry (energy) in Ethiopia is 0.0022 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 4.8% on the previous year and down 66.2% over ten years.

Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from power industry (energy) in Ethiopia peaked at 0.4909 Mt CO2e in 2009 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 2020.

That places Ethiopia 191st out of 194 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 electricity and heat generation (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.1.a. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
