Djibouti, a country with a population of 973,560 and an urban population of 758,549, accounting for approximately 77.91% of the total, has produced 379,178 tons of CO2 in 2022. This translates to a per capita CO2 emission of 0.342974 tons, indicating that each individual contributes around 0.34 tons of CO2 annually.
To assess the impact of economic activity on CO2 emissions, it is valuable to examine the Carbon Intensity of GDP. In Djibouti, this measure stands at 0.114254416160547 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 suggests that Djibouti’s economic activity generates relatively fewer CO2 emissions per unit of economic output compared to these countries.
Overall, Djibouti’s CO2 emissions, though relatively lower compared to larger nations, still contribute to the global carbon footprint. It is crucial for the country to continue exploring strategies to further reduce its carbon intensity and promote sustainable development.
Djibouti Total CO2 emissions by source
How much do coal, oil, gas, cement and flaring contribute to CO2 emissions in Djibouti?
In 2022, Djibouti’s total CO2 emissions reached 379,178 metric tons. The primary sources of these emissions were oil, accounting for 301,679 metric tons, and cement, contributing 77,499 metric tons.
Notably, coal and gas emissions were absent.
These figures highlight the significant correlation between Djibouti’s GDP and its reliance on oil, as well as the impact of cement production on CO2 emissions in the country.
