Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF in Greenland, 1970–2024
Source: EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission. Measured in Mt CO2e.
Analysis
In 2024, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Greenland stood at 0.5941 Mt CO2e.
That represents a change of up 1.6% on the previous year and up 23.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Greenland peaked at 0.6829 Mt CO2e in 2011 and was at its lowest, 0.0008 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
Greenland ranks 172nd of 203 countries on this measure, in the bottom quarter.
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 agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
