Analysis
Lithuania recorded 3.04 million tonnes for annual co₂ emissions from gas in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 10.8% on the previous year and down 31.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from gas in Lithuania peaked at 10.92 million tonnes in 1991 and was at its lowest, 0 tonnes, in 1830.
That places Lithuania 84th out of 146 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
