Analysis
In 2018, total ghg emissions by sector (mt co2 eq) - electricity/heat in Kenya stood at 1.9.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 21.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, total ghg emissions by sector (mt co2 eq) - electricity/heat in Kenya peaked at 2.96 in 2009 and was at its lowest, 0.41, in 1991.
That places Kenya 110th out of 186 countries with data for 2018, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
Electricity and heat sector greenhouse gas emissions are generated from the World Resource Institute's Climate Watch. Climate Watch Historical Emission data contains sector-level greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data for 194 countries and the European Union (EU) for the period 1990-2018, including emissions of the six major GHGs from most major sources and sinks. Non-CO2 emissions are expressed in CO2 equivalents using 100-year global warming potential values from IPCC Fourth Assessment Report. Climate Watch Historical GHG Emissions data (previously published through CAIT Climate Data Explorer) are derived from several sources. Any use of the Land-Use Change and Forestry or Agriculture indicator should be cited as FAO 2020, FAOSTAT Emissions Database. Any use of CO2 emissions from fuel combustion data should be cited as CO2 Emissions from Fuel Combustion, OECD/IEA, 2020.
