Analysis
The most recent figure for annual co₂ emissions from gas in Angola is 1.77 million tonnes, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of up 1.4% on the previous year and up 205.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from gas in Angola peaked at 2.49 million tonnes in 2020 and was at its lowest, 84,181 tonnes, in 1971.
That places Angola 90th out of 146 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.
