How much carbon dioxide comes from burning petroleum products — mostly in transport.
The ranking uses the latest available value for each country — the year is shown in the row. The table spans 1983 to 2024.
Top-20 · million tonnes
The scale does not start at zero — the values lie in a narrow range, and starting from zero the bars would be indistinguishable. The axis ticks are labeled.

Carbon dioxide emissions from burning oil and petroleum products. Most of it comes from transport, and that makes this the most inert of the three fuel series: a power plant can be replaced within years, while a vehicle fleet turns over in a decade and a half. This is exactly why the shift to electric cars shows up in emissions with a long lag behind the share of electric cars in sales.
Important: Includes petrochemical feedstock burned as fuel, but not plastic: carbon that stays in products does not enter emissions until the products themselves are burned.
How much carbon dioxide comes from burning coal — the dirtiest of the fuels.
Emissions 1750–2024 CO2 emissions from gasHow much carbon dioxide comes from burning natural gas — the cleanest of the three fuels.
Emissions 1750–2024 CO2 emissionsAnnual carbon dioxide emissions from burning fuel and producing cement.
Vehicles 2010–2025 Electric car stockHow many electric cars there are on the country's roads in total — a cumulative stock, not sales for the year.
