Analysis
Oman recorded 18.60 million tonnes for co₂ emissions by sector in 2023. That is the highest value across all 34 years on record.
That represents a change of up 1.2% on the previous year and up 90.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co₂ emissions by sector in Oman peaked at 18.60 million tonnes in 2023 and was at its lowest, 60,000 tonnes, in 2000.
That places Oman 25th out of 187 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
