Mozambique, with a population of 30,366,036 and an urban population of 11,092,106, accounting for approximately 36.53% of the total, has produced 7,156,209 tons of CO2 in 2022. This translates to a per capita CO2 emission of 0.223 tons, indicating that each individual contributes around 0.22 tons of CO2 annually.
To assess the impact of the country’s economic activity on CO2 emissions, it is useful to examine the Carbon Intensity of GDP. In Mozambique, this measure stands at 0.479 kg of CO2 per International dollar ($USD) of economic output produced.
Comparatively, this figure is higher than that of the USA (0.3 kg) and China (0.57 kg), suggesting that Mozambique’s economic activity has a relatively higher carbon intensity.
Mozambique Total CO2 emissions by source
How much do coal, oil, gas, cement and flaring contribute to CO2 emissions in Mozambique?
In 2022, Mozambique’s total CO2 emissions reached 7,156,209 metric tons. The primary contributors were coal, accounting for 49,964 metric tons, and oil, with 4,170,887 metric tons.
Gas emissions amounted to 1,924,001 metric tons, while cement contributed 1,011,357 metric tons.
Notably, flaring emissions were absent.
These figures underscore the significant role of coal and oil in Mozambique’s economy and their correlation with CO2 emissions.
