About this ranking

Carbon dioxide emitted by burning coal, natural gas and petroleum products for energy in the year, in million metric tonnes, as estimated by the U.S. Energy Information Administration in its International Energy Statistics.

Excludes industrial processes such as cement, land use and other greenhouse gases, so it is lower than total greenhouse gas inventories.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the countries are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
