Energy — Emissions in Bhutan, 1961–2023
Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Measured in kt.
Analysis
In 2023, energy — emissions in Bhutan stood at 881 kt.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 55.9% on the previous year and up 37.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, energy — emissions in Bhutan peaked at 1,000 kt in 2019 and was at its lowest, 0 kt, in 1961.
That places Bhutan 161st out of 197 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.
