Analysis
Iraq recorded 15.93 Mt CO2e for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
The figure is up 2.7% on the previous year and up 75.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in Iraq peaked at 15.93 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 1.47 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Iraq 37th out of 193 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 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).
