Analysis
In 2023, energy — emissions in Ghana stood at 349 kt.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 3.3% on the previous year and up 46.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, energy — emissions in Ghana peaked at 359 kt in 2019 and was at its lowest, 35.7 kt, in 1961.
That places Ghana 44th out of 196 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions Totals summarizes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions disseminated in the FAOSTAT Climate Change domains of emissions from agrifood systems. Data are computed following the Tier 1 methods of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014). Emissions from other economic sectors as defined by the IPCC are also disseminated in the domain for completeness.
