Analysis
Kazakhstan recorded 109.91 million tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions by source in 2024. That is the highest value across all 35 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 5.0% on the previous year and up 65.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions by source in Kazakhstan peaked at 109.91 million tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 1.89 million tonnes, in 1990.
That places Kazakhstan 16th out of 46 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.
