Analysis
Turkmenistan recorded 98.34 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 12.8% on the previous year and up 19.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Turkmenistan peaked at 119.88 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2022 and was at its lowest, 136,622 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1851.
That places Turkmenistan 44th 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.
