Analysis
Kenya recorded 33,370 kt for energy — emissions (co2eq) in 2023. That is the highest value across all 63 years on record.
The figure is up 2.8% on the previous year and up 59.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, energy — emissions (co2eq) in Kenya peaked at 33,370 kt in 2023 and was at its lowest, 4,926 kt, in 1961.
That places Kenya 76th out of 197 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.
