Analysis
Azerbaijan recorded 1.42 billion tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions from oil in 2024. That is the highest value across all 173 years on record.
The figure is up 0.9% on the previous year and up 9.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions from oil in Azerbaijan peaked at 1.42 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0 tonnes, in 1830.
That places Azerbaijan 58th out of 215 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.
