Analysis
Romania recorded 34.46 million tonnes for annual co₂ emissions from oil, gaps filled in 2024.
The figure is up 5.0% on the previous year and up 38.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from oil, gaps filled in Romania peaked at 61.41 million tonnes in 1987 and was at its lowest, 3,664 tonnes, in 1858.
That places Romania 45th out of 215 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
