Analysis
Argentina recorded 3.23 billion tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions from gas in 2024. That is the highest value across all 138 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.8% on the previous year and up 40.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions from gas in Argentina peaked at 3.23 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0 tonnes, in 1887.
That places Argentina 17th out of 146 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.
