Analysis
In 2024, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from transport (energy) in Iran stood at 146.13 Mt CO2e. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
The figure is up 1.1% on the previous year and up 3.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from transport (energy) in Iran peaked at 146.13 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 7.53 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
Iran ranks 9th of 194 countries on this measure, in the top 10%.
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 transportation sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.3.a Civil Aviation, 1.A.3.b_noRES Road Transportation no resuspension, 1.A.3.c Railways, 1.A.3.d Water-borne Navigation, 1.A.3.e Other Transportation. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
