Analysis

Rwanda recorded 0.8132 Mt CO2e for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from transport (energy) in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.

That represents a change of up 1.8% on the previous year and up 54.3% over ten years.

Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from transport (energy) in Rwanda peaked at 0.8132 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0236 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

Rwanda ranks 150th of 194 countries on this measure, 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).
