Analysis
Seychelles recorded 0.198 kt for energy — emissions in 2023. That is the highest value across all 63 years on record.
That represents a change of up 2.6% on the previous year and up 55.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, energy — emissions in Seychelles peaked at 0.198 kt in 2023 and was at its lowest, 0.0157 kt, in 1961.
That places Seychelles 208th out of 229 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the bottom 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.
