Analysis
Nepal recorded 11.74 kt for on-farm energy use — emissions (co2eq) from ch4 in 2023. That is the highest value across all 34 years on record.
That represents a change of up 23.5% on the previous year and up 224.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, on-farm energy use — emissions (co2eq) from ch4 in Nepal peaked at 11.74 kt in 2023 and was at its lowest, 0.448 kt, in 1995.
That places Nepal 73rd 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.
