Germany: Greenhouse gas emissions

For that indicator, we provide data for Germany from 1990 to 2020. The average value for Germany during that period was 932187 kt of CO2 equivalent with a minimum of 692751 kt of CO2 equivalent in 2020 and a maximum of 1129743 kt of CO2 equivalent in 1990. The latest value from 2020 is 692751 kt of CO2 equivalent. For comparison, the world average in 2020 based on 185 countries is 241624 kt of CO2 equivalent. See the global rankings for that indicator or use the country comparator to compare trends over time.

Definition: Total greenhouse gas emissions in kt of CO2 equivalent are composed of CO2 totals excluding short-cycle biomass burning (such as agricultural waste burning and savanna burning) but including other biomass burning (such as forest fires, post-burn decay, peat fires and decay of drained peatlands), all anthropogenic CH4 sources, N2O sources and F-gases (HFCs, PFCs and SF6).
