Analysis
In 2024, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from building (energy) in Iran stood at 175.72 Mt CO2e.
The figure is down 0.3% on the previous year and up 31.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from building (energy) in Iran peaked at 176.17 Mt CO2e in 2023 and was at its lowest, 11.97 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Iran 5th out of 193 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the building sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.4 Residential and other sectors, 1.A.5 Non-Specified. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
