Analysis
In 2024, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from transport (energy) in Romania stood at 22.79 Mt CO2e. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
The figure is up 5.0% on the previous year and up 49.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from transport (energy) in Romania peaked at 22.79 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 3.99 Mt CO2e, in 1986.
That places Romania 39th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 55 years of available data.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the transportation sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.3.a Civil Aviation, 1.A.3.b_noRES Road Transportation no resuspension, 1.A.3.c Railways, 1.A.3.d Water-borne Navigation, 1.A.3.e Other Transportation. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
