Analysis
In 2023, energy — emissions (co2eq) in Mozambique stood at 19,613 kt.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 0.1% on the previous year and up 64.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, energy — emissions (co2eq) in Mozambique peaked at 19,928 kt in 2018 and was at its lowest, 3,281 kt, in 1991.
That places Mozambique 112th 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.
