Analysis
OECD members recorded 1,275 Mt CO2e for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in 2024. That is the lowest value across all 55 years on record.
That represents a change of down 0.1% on the previous year and down 7.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in OECD members peaked at 2,627 Mt CO2e in 1970 and was at its lowest, 1,275 Mt CO2e, in 2024.
That places OECD members 13th out of 45 groups with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
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).
