Analysis
In 2024, co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change, gaps filled in Algeria stood at 198.20 million tonnes.
The figure is down 2.3% on the previous year and up 30.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change, gaps filled in Algeria peaked at 202.85 million tonnes in 2023 and was at its lowest, 3,664 tonnes, in 1916.
That places Algeria 30th 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.
