Analysis
Burkina Faso recorded 7,566 kt for energy — emissions (co2eq) in 2023.
That represents a change of down 1.5% on the previous year and up 28.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, energy — emissions (co2eq) in Burkina Faso peaked at 7,748 kt in 2019 and was at its lowest, 917.76 kt, in 1962.
That places Burkina Faso 147th out of 231 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the middle of the range.
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.
