Analysis

In 2024, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from transport (energy) in Bhutan stood at 0.2672 Mt CO2e.

That represents a change of up 5.3% on the previous year and up 29.4% over ten years.

Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from transport (energy) in Bhutan peaked at 0.3126 Mt CO2e in 2019 and was at its lowest, 0.0007 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

That places Bhutan 169th 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 the transportation sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.3.a Civil Aviation, 1.A.3.b_noRES Road Transportation no resuspension, 1.A.3.c Railways, 1.A.3.d Water-borne Navigation, 1.A.3.e Other Transportation. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
