Analysis
In 2024, cumulative co₂ emissions from gas in Oman stood at 1.04 billion tonnes. That is the highest value across all 47 years on record.
The figure is up 6.5% on the previous year and up 108.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions from gas in Oman peaked at 1.04 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 754,429 tonnes, in 1978.
That places Oman 44th out of 146 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.
