Analysis
The most recent figure for co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change, gaps filled in Morocco is 69.06 million tonnes, measured in 2024.
The figure is up 0.1% on the previous year and up 20.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change, gaps filled in Morocco peaked at 70.28 million tonnes in 2021 and was at its lowest, 29,074 tonnes, in 1928.
That places Morocco 49th 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.

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.
