Analysis
Turkmenistan recorded 7.20 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 3.6% on the previous year and up 18.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, greenhouse gas emissions by gas in Turkmenistan peaked at 7.20 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2024 and was at its lowest, 174,506 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Turkmenistan 68th out of 201 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.
