Analysis
The most recent figure for pre- and post-production — energy use in Cameroon is 3,753 TJ, measured in 2023.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, pre- and post-production — energy use in Cameroon peaked at 3,973 TJ in 2014 and was at its lowest, 102.23 TJ, in 1990.
That places Cameroon 123rd out of 202 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 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.
