Co2 Emissions Statistics

China’s power sector alone emitted 6.7 GtCO2 in 2023, while global fossil fuel and cement CO2 hit a record 37.4 GtCO2, and the biggest surprises are how unevenly the burden and the momentum are shared across countries and sectors. Use this page to connect the latest totals with sector drivers, from road transport and industry to land use and aviation, and see what those patterns imply for targets like net zero and 2030 emissions cuts.

Fossil fuel and cement CO2 reached a record 37.4 Gt in 2023, while global power emissions alone jumped to 14.6 Gt that same year, largely fueled by coal. At the country level, China’s 11.9 GtCO2 in 2022 still accounts for 32% of the world total, and the contrast with places like Germany, down to its lowest since the 1950s, raises a key question about what is changing and what is not. If you look across sectors, transport at 8.0 Gt and industry at 12.0 Gt show how tightly emissions are tied to daily activity, not just policy headlines.

Global Total Emissions Interpretation

While our report card reads "new record high," the fine print reveals an alarming truth: we're setting new personal bests in emitting CO2 across virtually every sector, from our power grids to our morning commutes, while the technologies to capture these emissions remain stuck in the "just getting started" phase.
