What We're Showing :
The global breakdown of carbon emissions emitted from the energy sector by region and the top 10 highest-emitting countries in 2023.
Total emissions in million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent and the year-over-year change from 2022 to 2023 are included in each segment.
The emission figures include emissions from energy production, flaring, industrial processes, and the transportation and distribution of fossil fuels.
Figures come from the Energy Institute's Statistical Review of World Energy 2024 report.

China is the World's Leading Energy-Related CO2 Emitter :

In 2023, China accounted for almost one-third (31%) of the world's total carbon dioxide emissions from energy production at 12.6 billion tonnes–more than the total emissions of the entire western hemisphere and Europe combined.

China’s large population and its continued dependence on coal and oil for its main energy source are the primary factors behind its high emission levels.
While the country is investing heavily into its renewable energy capacity, its carbon emissions still saw a 6% increase from 2022.

The Asia Pacific Region overall saw a 3.4% increase in emissions, despite major economies like Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan seeing annual decreases in their emissions.
