Analysis
OECD recorded 100.06 kt for energy use (pre- and post-production) — emissions in 2023. That is the lowest value across all 34 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 0.7% on the previous year and down 15.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, energy use (pre- and post-production) — emissions in OECD peaked at 138.77 kt in 1991 and was at its lowest, 100.06 kt, in 2023.
That places OECD 3rd out of 242 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the top 10%.
The long-run direction has been consistently falling 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.
