Analysis
Russia recorded 34.51 billion tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions from oil in 2024. That is the highest value across all 173 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 1.3% on the previous year and up 13.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions from oil in Russia peaked at 34.51 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0 tonnes, in 1830.
That places Russia 3rd out of 215 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
