In 2022, carbon dioxide emissions from energy in Russia amounted to approximately 1.46 billion metric tons of CO2, marking a decrease relative to the previous year. Russia’s territorial carbon dioxide emissions per capita grew by 20 percent between 2000 and 2021.
Greenhouse gas emissions in Russia
Russia accounted for four percent of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions in 2021, ranking behind China, the United States, and India. The energy sector was the largest emitter, followed by industrial production agriculture, and waste management. On the other hand, the land use and forestry sector absorbed approximately 485 million tons of CO2 equivalent in 2021.
The source specified the following information: "Carbon emissions in this statistic reflect only those through consumption of oil, gas and coal for combustion related activities, and are based on ‘Default CO₂ Emissions Factors for Combustion’ listed by the IPCC in its Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (2006). This does not allow for any carbon that is sequestered, for other sources of carbon emissions, or for emissions of other greenhouse gases."
