CO₂ Emissions per capita 2020

tina-gotthardt — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 21:02:11 +0000

The Kyoto Protocol was the first serious effort to not only acknowledging a role of humans in global warming, but to also implement measures to reducing this impact caused by greenhouse gas emissions. Since then, carbon emissions have been rising constantly, largely fuelled by considerable economic growth. Qatar has the highest emission of Carbon per capita (37 tons per year), followed by New Caledonia (30 t/y), Mongolia (26 t/y), Trinidad and Tobago (25 t/y) and Brunei (23 t/y). Overall 24 countries have Carbon emissions of more than 10 tons per capita. Democratic Republic of the Congo has the lowest Carbon emission per capita (0.027 t/y), followed by Somalia (0.035 t/y), Central African Republic (0.039 t/y) and Burundi (0.05 t/y). Overall just under 60 countries have a per capita Carbon emissions lower than 1 ton per year.

Proven Oil Reserves

The most commonly accepted definition of proven reserves of oil and gas is " The quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in the future from known oil and gas reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. They represent strictly technical judgments, and are not knowingly influenced by attitudes of conservatism or optimism," developed by the Society of Petroleum Engineers. Those proven reserves include both developed and undeveloped reserves.

The biggest proven oil reserves in 2021 were located in Venezuela (304.000 million barrels), followed by Saudi Arabia (267.000), Iran (209.000), Iraq (201.000) and Canada (170.000). United Arabian Emirates (113.000), Kuwait (109.000), Russia (80.000), USA (74.000) and Libya (50.000) complete the Top 10.

Years left of Proven Oil Reserves

The years left of oil reserves is calculated based on the proven reserves and the annual production volume. Any change in that volume will change the number of years left. The most years left of proven reserves has Venezuela with 885, followed by Yemen (548 years) and Suriname (548 years), Georgia (479 years) and the Philippines (304 years). Chile (261 years), Slovakia (247 years), Syria (196 years), Iran (134 years) and South Sudan (130 years) complete the Top 10. The most commonly accepted definition of proven reserves of oil and gas is " The quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in the future from known oil and gas reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions.

Proven Gas Reserves

The biggest proven gas reserves in 2021 were located in Russia (47.800 km3), followed by Iran (34.000 km3), Qatar (23.900 km3), United States of America (17.700 km3) and Turkmenistan (10.000 km3). Saudi Arabia, China, United Arabian Emirates, Venezuela and Nigeria complete the Top 10.

CO₂ Emissions from Cement production 2020

tina-gotthardt — Wed, 01 Dec 2021 09:42:54 +0000

This map is resized according to absolute CO₂ emissions from Cement production in that territory (MtCO2 = 1 million tonnes of CO2).

Definition:

Carbon dioxide emissions from chemical reactions in the manufacture of cement. Some emissions from the production of lime are also included.

Territorial Emissions: Carbon dioxide emissions attributed to the country in which they physically occur. For more information see: Andrew and Peters (2021).

Data sources
This map uses data by Global Carbon Atlas (last accessed November 2021). We aim to map as complete data as possible and therefore estimate data for missing values. In some cases, missing data for very small territories is not used in the cartogram and that area is therefore omitted in the map.

Further notes on the data, as well as all modifications to the original data source are noted in our data sheets (available soon).

CO₂ Emissions from Gas flaring 2020

tina-gotthardt — Tue, 30 Nov 2021 12:20:45 +0000

This map is resized according to absolute CO₂ emissions from Gas flaring in that territory (MtCO2 = 1 million tonnes of CO2).

Definition:

Gas flaring: combustion of vented natural gas and the venting of CO2 in the oil and gas industry converting methane into carbon dioxide.

Territorial Emissions: Carbon dioxide emissions attributed to the country in which they physically occur. For more information see: Andrew and Peters (2021).

Further notes on the data, as well as all modifications to the original data source are noted in our data sheets (available soon).

CO₂ Emissions from Gas 2020

This map is resized according to absolute CO₂ emissions from the oxidation of natural gas in that territory (MtCO2 = 1 million tonnes of CO2).
