Russia released an estimated 1.16 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCO₂e) from oil and gas production and transprotation in 2023, making it the biggest carbon polluter in this sector. The six countries shown accounted for 60 percent of global emissions from oil and gas production and transport in 2023.

Figures for this statistic were calculated by Statista using data provided by the source.
Figures are based on fugitive and exhaust emissions from flaring, venting combustion, and non-combustion related processes during oil and gas exploration, production, processing, and transport of crude oil, gas, and liquefied natural gas.
Oil and gas field- and basin-level carbon dioxide and methane emissions are estimated with the Oil Production Greenhouse Gas Emissions Estimator (OPGEE) Model. Inputs include a number of oil and gas field characteristics, including satellite-derived flaring volumes. Field-level estimates are summed and scaled to country-level on an annual basis.
Figures account for greenhouse gas emissions based on their 100-year global warming potential (GWP).
