Chad, with a population of 15,946,876 and an urban population of 3,712,273, accounting for 23.28% of the total, has produced 1,939,918 tons of CO2 in 2022. This translates to a per capita CO2 emissions of 0.11 tons, indicating that each person generates approximately 0.11 tons of CO2 annually.
To assess the impact of economic activity on CO2 emissions, it is useful to examine the Carbon Intensity of GDP. In Chad, the Carbon Intensity of GDP is 0.17 kg of CO2 per International dollar ($USD) of economic output, which is lower than both the USA (0.3 kg) and China (0.57 kg).
This measurement indicates that Chad’s economic activity produces relatively fewer CO2 emissions per unit of economic output compared to these countries.
Overall, Chad’s CO2 emissions, per capita emissions, and Carbon Intensity of GDP reflect a relatively lower impact on the environment compared to larger economies like the USA and China.
Chad Total CO2 emissions by source
How much do coal, oil, gas, cement and flaring contribute to CO2 emissions in Chad?
In 2022, Chad’s total CO2 emissions reached 1,939,918 metric tons. The primary sources of these emissions were oil, accounting for 1,440,763 metric tons, and flaring, contributing 336,407 metric tons.
Cement made a smaller contribution with 162,747 metric tons.
Notably, coal and gas emissions were absent.
These figures underscore the significant role of oil and flaring in Chad’s economy and their correlation with CO2 emissions.
