Analysis
Brunei recorded 12.05 million tonnes for co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change, gaps filled in 2024.
That represents a change of down 3.6% on the previous year and up 36.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change, gaps filled in Brunei peaked at 12.50 million tonnes in 2023 and was at its lowest, 3,664 tonnes, in 1933.
Brunei ranks 104th of 215 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

How this figure is calculated
CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change with 80 missing years estimated by linear interpolation between the nearest real observations. Only gaps of 4 years or fewer are filled, and never beyond the first or last actual measurement — these are filled holes, not forecasts.
Computed from
- CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change Global Carbon Budget (2025) – with major processing by Our World in Data
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.
