Analysis

The most recent figure for total energy — emissions in Uganda is 536.39 kt, measured in 2023.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.1% on the previous year and up 108.3% over ten years.

Over the whole period, total energy — emissions in Uganda peaked at 542.12 kt in 2021 and was at its lowest, 3.07 kt, in 1997.

That places Uganda 71st 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.

The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions from Energy use in agriculture contains data on energy used in agriculture (including forestry, aquaculture and fisheries), for instance to operate machinery, irrigate, heat stables, operate aquaculture ponds and fishing vessels, and related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It also includes on-farm use of, and related GHG emissions from, electricity and heat generated off-farm. Data are available by country and regional groups with global coverage and are updated annually.
