Greenhouse gas emissions by country: total CO2, per capita, cumulative since the start of the industrial era and by source — coal, oil, gas, cement, land use. Plus methane, nitrous oxide, the carbon intensity of the economy and of power generation. Data from the Global Carbon Project and Climate Watch via Our World in Data. Consumption-based emissions are worth a separate look: they count the carbon embedded in imported goods, and for countries that have moved industry abroad the figure comes out noticeably higher than the production-based one.
Annual carbon dioxide emissions from burning fuel and producing cement.
1750–2024 CO2 emissions per capitaHow many tonnes of carbon dioxide each resident of a country accounts for in a year.
1750–2024 Cumulative CO2 emissionsA country's total emissions over the whole record — since 1750.
1990–2023 Consumption-based CO2 emissionsEmissions adjusted for trade: the carbon brought in with imported goods is counted.
1850–2024 Greenhouse gas emissionsAll greenhouse gases in CO2 equivalent, including methane and nitrous oxide.
1850–2024 Methane emissionsHow much methane a country emits — converted into CO2 equivalent.
1850–2024 Nitrous oxide emissionsThe third greenhouse gas by importance — almost all of it from fertilizer and manure.
1850–2024 Greenhouse gases excluding land useAll greenhouse gases except emissions from deforestation and land-use change.
1850–2024 Greenhouse gases per capitaHow much greenhouse gas falls on each resident — all gases, not CO2 alone.
1750–2024 CO2 emissions from coalHow much carbon dioxide comes from burning coal — the dirtiest of the fuels.
1750–2024 CO2 emissions from oilHow much carbon dioxide comes from burning petroleum products — mostly in transport.
1750–2024 CO2 emissions from gasHow much carbon dioxide comes from burning natural gas — the cleanest of the three fuels.
1850–2024 CO2 emissions from land useEmissions from deforestation and land-use change. They can be negative.
1750–2024 Share of global CO2 emissionsWhat part of global carbon dioxide emissions a country accounts for in a year.
1750–2024 Share of cumulative CO2 emissionsWhat part of all emissions since the start of the industrial era a country produced.
1851–2024 Contribution to temperature changeBy how many degrees a country has warmed the planet with its CO2 emissions.
1820–2022 Carbon intensity of the economyHow many kilograms of CO2 fall on each dollar of output produced.
2000–2025 Power sector CO2 emissionsHow much carbon dioxide the electricity sector of a country emits in a year.
