Hungary: Greenhouse gas emissions

The latest value from 2020 is 59597 kt of CO2 equivalent, a decline from 62094 kt of CO2 equivalent in 2019. In comparison, the world average is 241624 kt of CO2 equivalent, based on data from 185 countries. Historically, the average for Hungary from 1990 to 2020 is 69121 kt of CO2 equivalent. The minimum value, 55683 kt of CO2 equivalent, was reached in 2013 while the maximum of 89525 kt of CO2 equivalent was recorded in 1990. See the global rankings or world map 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).
