Analysis

In 2024, carbon intensity of gdp in Romania stood at 0.2986 kg CO2e per constant 2015 US$ of GDP. That is the lowest value across all 35 years on record.

That represents a change of down 34.8% over ten years.

Over the whole period, carbon intensity of gdp in Romania peaked at 1.61 kg CO2e per constant 2015 US$ of GDP in 1990 and was at its lowest, 0.2986 kg CO2e per constant 2015 US$ of GDP, in 2024.

That places Romania 97th out of 199 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
