Analysis
In 2024, cumulative co2 gas in India stood at 3.03 billion. That is the highest value across all 145 years on record.
That represents a change of up 5.2% on the previous year and up 69.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co2 gas in India peaked at 3.03 billion in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0, in 1858.
That places India 18th 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.
