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 1,760,355.75, a 1.09% decline from 2019.
  • greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions for 2019 was 1,779,665.40, a 3.46% increase from 2018.
  • greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions for 2018 was 1,720,228.06, a 2.71% increase from 2017.
