Analysis
In 2024, greenhouse gas emissions in Oman stood at 117.09 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.
That represents a change of up 3.4% on the previous year and up 23.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, greenhouse gas emissions in Oman peaked at 117.09 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2024 and was at its lowest, 13,436 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1959.
Oman ranks 54th of 199 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.
