Analysis
In 2024, co₂ emissions by fuel or industry in Chile stood at 54.43 million tonnes. That is the highest value across all 130 years on record.
That represents a change of up 5.6% on the previous year and up 24.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co₂ emissions by fuel or industry in Chile peaked at 54.43 million tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0 tonnes, in 1895.
That places Chile 36th out of 215 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
