Analysis
Nepal recorded 2,562 kt for energy use (pre- and post-production) — emissions (co2eq) in 2023.
The figure is down 2.8% on the previous year and up 91.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, energy use (pre- and post-production) — emissions (co2eq) in Nepal peaked at 2,635 kt in 2022 and was at its lowest, 123.33 kt, in 1996.
Nepal ranks 105th of 246 countries on this measure, 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 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.
