Analysis
Turkey recorded 4.30 billion tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions from oil in 2024. That is the highest value across all 160 years on record.
That represents a change of up 3.3% on the previous year and up 39.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions from oil in Turkey peaked at 4.30 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0 tonnes, in 1865.
That places Turkey 21st 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.
