CO₂ emissions from fossil fuel and industrial purposes in South Africa 1970-2023

South Africa produced 397 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (MtCO₂) from fossil fuel combustion and industrial purposes in 2023. This was a decrease of roughly three percent compared with 2022 levels. South Africa is amongst the top 15 largest emitters of carbon dioxide worldwide. The country's high emissions are mainly due to its reliance on coal energy.

2023年，南非因化石燃料燃烧和工业用途排放了约3.97亿吨二氧化碳（MtCO₂）。与2022年相比，这一数字下降了约3%。南非是全球前十五大二氧化碳排放国之一。该国高排放量的主要原因是其对煤炭能源的依赖。
