The National Environment Agency (NEA) leads a multi-agency effort to compile Singapore’s greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory. The most significant GHG emitted in Singapore is carbon dioxide, primarily from the burning of fossil fuels to generate energy in the industry, building, household, and transport sectors.
Singapore’s greenhouse gas emissions in 2023
Singapore’s GHG emissions for 2023 totaled 55.5 million tonnes (Mt) CO2-equivalent. The breakdown of emissions by type of gas is shown in the figure below.
More data can also be found in the national inventory document (NID), common reporting tables (CRTs), Department of Statistics website (link) and National Climate Change Secretariat website (link).
Singapore also submits a Biennial Transparency Report (BTR) to the Paris Agreement under the Enhanced Transparency Framework which contains more information on Singapore’s GHG emissions in the NID and CRTs. Click here for our latest BTR that was submitted to the UNFCCC in 2024.
