Analysis
In 2023, on-farm energy use — emissions (co2eq) in Greenland stood at 182.64 kt.
The figure is down 3.9% on the previous year and up 20.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, on-farm energy use — emissions (co2eq) in Greenland peaked at 190.04 kt in 2022 and was at its lowest, 24.62 kt, in 1993.
That places Greenland 103rd out of 169 countries with data for 2023, putting it 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 on Emissions Totals summarizes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions disseminated in the FAOSTAT Climate Change domains of emissions from agrifood systems. Data are computed following the Tier 1 methods of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014). Emissions from other economic sectors as defined by the IPCC are also disseminated in the domain for completeness.
