Total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Oman, 1850–2024
Source: Jones et al. (2025) – with major processing by Our World in Data. Measured in tonnes of CO₂ equivalents.
Analysis
In 2024, total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Oman stood at 114.92 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 3.4% on the previous year and up 24.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Oman peaked at 114.92 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2024 and was at its lowest, 76,143 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1939.
That places Oman 43rd out of 198 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
Greenhouse gas emissions are measured in tonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalents over a 100-year timescale.
