Carbon dioxide emissions from flaring in North America totaled 538 million metric tons (MtCO₂) in 2023. Gas flaring emissions in Mexico accounted for almost 40 percent of this total.
Carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from flaring in North America from 2013 to 2023
(in million metric tons of carbon dioxide)
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.
