Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Energy Data Explorer

Understanding the contributions of specific fuels and sectors to GHG emissions associated with combustion of fuels from 1971 to 2021 for over 205 countries and 38 regions.

Explore the data:

The data explorer and the dataset are designed to assist in understanding the contributions of specific fuels and sectors to GHG emissions associated with energy for each country globally. The database includes estimates of total GHG emissions from energy and related indicators, covering CO2, CH4 and N2O emissions from fuel combustion, as well as fugitive emissions.

It is estimated that energy accounts for more than three-quarters of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions globally. The IEA Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Energy dataset provides a full analysis of historical country-level emissions stemming from energy use, and has become an essential tool for analysts and policy makers.

Highlights：

In 2021, the global CO2 emissions from fuel combustion rebounded by nearly 6%, returning close to the levels preceding the Covid-19 pandemic. Fossil fuels continued to represent 80% of the total energy supply (TES) globally, with oil comprising nearly 30%, followed by coal (27%) and natural gas (24%). Global emissions from fuel combustion were dominated by coal (44%), followed by oil (32%) and natural gas (22%).

China and the United States together were responsible for 45% of the global fuel combustion emissions, followed by European Union, India, the Russian Federation and Japan.
