Analysis
Chile recorded 12.56 million tonnes for annual co₂ emissions from gas in 2024.
That represents a change of down 6.6% on the previous year and up 51.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from gas in Chile peaked at 16.05 million tonnes in 2004 and was at its lowest, 0 tonnes, in 1895.
That places Chile 56th 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.
