How to read this table
Rows in the list correspond to individual countries, facilitating a comparison of Russia's emission scale with other nations. Comparing values across rows identifies the largest carbon dioxide sources among the listed entities. All indicators are measured in millions of tonnes, with time intervals allowing for the tracking of changes over thirteen years
What is visible in these numbers
Top five values: Russia (1,705), Germany (758.8), United Kingdom (477.1), Italy (392), France (340.1). Gap between highest and lowest — 210.4 times. The top five account for 69.2% of the total across all positions — distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual and cover 6 periods. Cells with numbers: 150 out of 150 (100%); data gaps are virtually absent
The same indicator for other periods
These series cannot be stitched together Over the common period 2010 values diverge — Rosstat recalculated the indicator using a revised methodology. They cannot be combined into a single chart: a break would appear at the junction, which did not actually occur
| Indicator for 2010 | here | in the adjacent series | divergence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Россия | 1 633,1 | 1 632,3 | −0,8 |
| Австрия | 68,3 | 68,3 | +0,0 |
| Бельгия | 103,3 | 104,4 | +1,1 |
| Венгрия | 47,2 | 47,2 | +0,0 |

Period and application
Carbon dioxide emission statistics are published annually and cover the period 2010–2022. This CO2 volume data is intended for ecologists, climate change specialists, industrial sector representatives, and those analyzing global atmospheric loading
How it is calculated
Noted in the source itself: Data from the Russian National Inventory Report on Anthropogenic Emissions from Sources and Absorption by Sinks of Greenhouse Gases Not Controlled by the Montreal Protocol for 1990–2023. Excluding the land use sector…
