The total carbon dioxide emissions in Egypt have shown a consistent upward trend from 2013 to 2023. In 2023, emissions reached approximately 231.76 million metric tons. The year-on-year variation over this period generally declined, highlighting a gradual stabilization in the rate of increase. For instance, the annual growth rate in 2023 was 1.62%, lower than the 2.2% observed in 2014. This trend is coupled with a decreasing Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the years, with the CAGR for the last five years standing at 1.74%, down from 2.06% in earlier periods.
Looking forward to the forecasted data from 2024 onwards, the CAGR further decreases to 1.14%, indicating a continued slowdown in the growth rate of emissions. Emissions are expected to continue rising, reaching 249.11 million metric tons by 2028, marking a 5.84% growth over five years.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of new environmental policies, technological advancements in carbon capture and renewable energy adoption, and economic shifts that potentially influence energy consumption patterns and industrial output.
