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 294,175.10, a 0.42% decline from 2019.
  • greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions for 2019 was 295,415.19, a 1.07% decline from 2018.
  • greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions for 2018 was 298,604.14, a 1.08% decline from 2017.
