Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions 1990-2025

Total greenhouse gas emissions in kt of CO2 equivalent are composed of CO2 totals excluding short-cycle biomass burning (such as agricultural waste burning and Savannah burning) but including other biomass burning (such as forest fires, post-burn decay, peat fires and decay of drained peatlands), all anthropogenic CH4 sources, N2O sources and F-gases (HFCs, PFCs and SF6).
  • greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions for 2020 was 19,931,199.65, a 0.36% increase from 2019.
  • greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions for 2019 was 19,859,849.80, a 1.82% increase from 2018.
  • greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions for 2018 was 19,505,538.53, a 3.42% increase from 2017.
