Analysis
Oman recorded 1.42 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for greenhouse gas emissions by gas in 2024. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.
That represents a change of up 2.0% on the previous year and up 23.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, greenhouse gas emissions by gas in Oman peaked at 1.42 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2024 and was at its lowest, 9,243 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
Oman ranks 132nd of 201 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
