Russia was responsible for the largest share of global CO₂ emissions from flaring in 2023, at roughly 19 percent. Combined, the 10 largest gas flaring countries accounted for three-quarters of global flaring CO₂ emissions in 2023.
Distribution of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from flaring in 2023, by leading country
(in percentage)
Based on total global flaring emissions of 317 MtCO₂.
Supplementary notes
These data include flaring from upstream, downstream oil and gas. Emissions have been calculated using flared natural gas volumes based on standard cubic meters (standardized using a Gross Calorific Value (GCV) of 40 MJ/m3) and the standard conversion factor for emissions from the IPCC. Perfect combustion has been assumed.
