Analysis
The most recent figure for per capita co₂ emissions from gas in Estonia is 0.4609 tonnes per person, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 8.7% on the previous year and down 39.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, per capita co₂ emissions from gas in Estonia peaked at 1.76 tonnes per person in 1991 and was at its lowest, 0 tonnes per person, in 1830.
That places Estonia 76th out of 146 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.
