Analysis
In 2023, energy use (pre- and post-production) — emissions in Bhutan stood at 0.0092 kt. That is the highest value across all 34 years on record.
That represents a change of up 45.7% on the previous year and up 117.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, energy use (pre- and post-production) — emissions in Bhutan peaked at 0.0092 kt in 2023 and was at its lowest, 0.0004 kt, in 1992.
That places Bhutan 185th out of 242 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 Emissions from Pre- and Post-Agricultural Production provides estimates of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and related activity data associated with pre- and post-production stages of agrifood systems. The domain includes methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), fluorinated gases (F-gases) and their aggregates expressed in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq). Estimates are computed following Tier 1 methods of the IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014) and are disseminated annually.
