CO2 emissions from oil use worldwide1960-2019, by select country

Published by Ian Tiseo, Jan 21, 2021
The United States is the biggest producer of emissions from oil combustion and industrial processes worldwide, and has been for a number of decades. In 1960, the U.S. emitted 1.3 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) from oil use and by 2019 this figure had increased to 2.3 billion metric tons. The second biggest emitter of CO2 from oil use is now China, which has seen a steep rise in emissions from this fuel since the 1990's.
