Analysis
Qatar recorded 10,476 kt for energy use (pre- and post-production) — emissions (co2eq) in 2023.
That represents a change of down 1.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, energy use (pre- and post-production) — emissions (co2eq) in Qatar peaked at 12,233 kt in 2016 and was at its lowest, 563.14 kt, in 1990.
That places Qatar 49th out of 246 countries with data for 2023, putting it 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.
