Analysis
The most recent figure for cumulative co₂ emissions from gas in Angola is 51.01 million tonnes, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 3.6% on the previous year and up 59.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions from gas in Angola peaked at 51.01 million tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 84,186 tonnes, in 1970.
That places Angola 92nd 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.
