Data for 2006

Consumption-Based CO₂ Emissions, 2006

2006, as Global Carbon Project’s 2025 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

This counts the carbon dioxide from fossil fuels and cement that goes into everything a country consumes, wherever in the world it was emitted. The steel, electronics and clothes a country imports carry the emissions of the factories that made them, so this is the fairer reading for a country that buys its manufactured goods abroad.

Consumption-Based CO₂ Emissions, 2006 covers 120 countries on 3 measures. United States is highest, at 1,806.474; Panama is lowest, at -0.203. The middle country reads 11.134. Against 2005, 120 values changed (92 up, 28 down), the same countries are covered.

04Caveats

Read before you use

How values are stored

  • One year of the 2025 release

    Every year in this series comes from Global Carbon Project’s 2025 release, recalculated on one method, so a change from one year to the next is not a revision. It can differ from what was first published for 2006.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 120 countries has every column.
