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 21,786,984.13, a 0.72% decline from 2019.
  • greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions for 2019 was 21,944,251.30, a 1.68% increase from 2018.
  • greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions for 2018 was 21,580,746.81, a 3.18% increase from 2017.
