Russia: Greenhouse gas emissions

For that indicator, we provide data for Russia from 1990 to 2020. The average value for Russia during that period was 2310995 kt of CO2 equivalent with a minimum of 2049897 kt of CO2 equivalent in 1998 and a maximum of 2969778 kt of CO2 equivalent in 1990. The latest value from 2020 is 2331479 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).
