How this figure is calculated
Annual CO₂ emissions from flaring divided by Land area (sq. km), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Annual CO₂ emissions from flaring ÷ Land area (sq. km)
Computed from
- Annual co2 flaring Our World in Data
- Land area FAOSTAT, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
