Analysis

Chile recorded 78,900 kt for energy — emissions in 2023.

That represents a change of down 10.1% on the previous year and down 2.7% over ten years.

Over the whole period, energy — emissions in Chile peaked at 91,700 kt in 2019 and was at its lowest, 14,500 kt, in 1961.

That places Chile 50th out of 217 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.

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.
