Analysis
In 2024, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from power industry (energy) in IBRD only stood at 11,465 Mt CO2e. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.4% on the previous year and up 35.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from power industry (energy) in IBRD only peaked at 11,465 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 1,359 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
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 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).
