Analysis
The most recent figure for annual co₂ emissions from gas in Sweden is 1.50 million tonnes, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 8.3% on the previous year and down 27.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from gas in Sweden peaked at 3.43 million tonnes in 2010 and was at its lowest, 0 tonnes, in 1834.
That places Sweden 94th 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.
