Analysis
In 2023, pre- and post-production — energy use in Africa stood at 1.11 million TJ.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 0.9% on the previous year and up 50.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, pre- and post-production — energy use in Africa peaked at 1.12 million TJ in 2022 and was at its lowest, 140,576 TJ, in 1990.
Africa ranks 16th of 34 groups on this measure, 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.
