Analysis
Qatar recorded 162.75 Mt CO2e for total greenhouse gas emissions excluding lulucf in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 4.2% on the previous year and up 19.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, total greenhouse gas emissions excluding lulucf in Qatar peaked at 162.75 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 18 Mt CO2e, in 1983.
That places Qatar 41st out of 203 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 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 the six greenhouse gases (GHG) covered by the Kyoto Protocol (carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulphurhexafluoride (SF6)) from the energy, industry, waste, and agriculture sectors, standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values. This measure excludes GHG fluxes caused by Land Use Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF), as these fluxes have larger uncertainties. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
