Analysis

Asia recorded 5.46 million TJ for pre- and post-production — energy use in 2023. That is the highest value across all 34 years on record.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.2% on the previous year and up 47.9% over ten years.

Over the whole period, pre- and post-production — energy use in Asia peaked at 5.46 million TJ in 2023 and was at its lowest, 737,407 TJ, in 1990.

Asia ranks 4th of 34 groups on this measure, in the top 10%.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

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.
