Analysis
Africa recorded 132,289 TJ for pre- and post-production — energy use in 2023.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 9.8% on the previous year and up 11.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, pre- and post-production — energy use in Africa peaked at 146,584 TJ in 2022 and was at its lowest, 13,128 TJ, in 1992.
That places Africa 10th out of 34 groups 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 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.
