Analysis
Australia recorded 39.55 Mt CO2e for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in 2024.
That represents a change of down 0.2% on the previous year and down 3.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in Australia peaked at 47.99 Mt CO2e in 2000 and was at its lowest, 35.33 Mt CO2e, in 1983.
That places Australia 21st out of 193 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The long-run direction has been consistently falling 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 industrial combustion (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.2 Manufacturing Industries and Construction. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
