🇩🇿 Algeria's Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Key Messages

• Emissions: Algeria emitted around 276 megatonnes CO₂e in 2024, about 0.48% of the global total.
• Per person: Emissions were around 5.9 tonnes per person per year in 2024, rated high on a scale where any level above zero adds warming.
• Trend: Algeria's emissions rose by around 5.7 megatonnes CO₂e a year over the ten years to 2024, rather than the 4% yearly decline the world needs to achieve Net Zero in 2050 and limit warming to around 1.7 °C.
• What drives it: CO₂ made up around 72% of Algeria's emissions, methane 24%, nitrous oxide 2.9% and F-gases 1.3%.
• Historic responsibility: Since 1851, Algeria's emissions have produced around 12,600 megatonnes CO₂e of warming impact, about 0.32% of the global total, averaging around 5.4 tonnes per person per year on a population-weighted basis.
