Analysis

Mongolia recorded 17.16 Mt CO2e for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from power industry (energy) in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.

That represents a change of up 0.8% on the previous year and up 47.5% over ten years.

Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from power industry (energy) in Mongolia peaked at 17.16 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0979 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

That places Mongolia 50th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.

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).
