Analysis
Nigeria recorded 3.13 kt for energy use (pre- and post-production) — emissions in 2023. That is the highest value across all 34 years on record.
That represents a change of up 0.4% on the previous year and up 32.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, energy use (pre- and post-production) — emissions in Nigeria peaked at 3.13 kt in 2023 and was at its lowest, 0.7624 kt, in 1998.
That places Nigeria 28th out of 242 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the top quarter.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 34 years of available data.

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.
