Analysis
Qatar recorded 8,099 kt for energy use (pre- and post-production) — emissions in 2023.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 16.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, energy use (pre- and post-production) — emissions in Qatar peaked at 10,836 kt in 2016 and was at its lowest, 478.1 kt, in 1990.
Qatar ranks 50th of 242 countries on this measure, in the top 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.
