Data definition

Inclusions and exclusions

Carbon Dioxide Emissions From Energy — - Carbon Dioxide Emissions From Energy refers to the total amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) released into the atmosphere from the combustion of fossil fuels and industrial energy-related processes within a given year. It is typically measured in million tonnes of carbon dioxide (MtCO₂) and reflects emissions generated from the consumption of coal, oil, natural gas, and other fossil fuels for electricity generation, heat production, transportation, industrial activities, and other energy uses. This indicator is widely used to assess a country's contribution to energy-related greenhouse gas emissions, evaluate carbon intensity, and monitor progress toward climate and energy transition goals.

Inclusions

The data includes CO₂ emissions resulting from the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal, crude oil, petroleum products, and natural gas across all major sectors, including electricity and heat generation, manufacturing, construction, transportation, residential, commercial, and other energy-consuming activities. It also includes emissions associated with industrial processes directly related to energy use, following internationally standardized carbon accounting methodologies. The indicator aggregates emissions from all energy-related sources at the national level, enabling consistent comparison of emission trends across countries and over time. Emissions are calculated using standardized fuel consumption data and internationally recognized emission factors to ensure comparability.

Exclusions

The data excludes greenhouse gas emissions other than carbon dioxide, such as methane (CH₄), nitrous oxide (N₂O), and fluorinated gases. It does not include CO₂ emissions from non-energy industrial processes, agriculture, forestry, land-use change, waste management, or other non-energy sectors unless specifically related to fuel combustion. The indicator excludes carbon removals through carbon capture, utilization, storage (CCUS), or natural carbon sinks such as forests. It also does not measure per capita emissions, carbon intensity, or emissions embodied in international trade. Minor differences may occur due to variations in national energy reporting practices, fuel classifications, and statistical estimation methodologies.

About this indicator

Carbon Dioxide Emissions From Energy — - Carbon Dioxide Emissions From Energy refers to the total amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) released into the atmosphere from the combustion of fossil fuels and industrial energy-related processes within a given year. It is typically measured in million tonnes of carbon dioxide (MtCO₂) and reflects emissions generated from the consumption of coal, oil, natural gas, and other fossil fuels for electricity generation, heat production, transportation, industrial activities, and other energy uses. This indicator is widely used to assess a country's contribution to energy-related greenhouse gas emissions, evaluate carbon intensity, and monitor progress toward climate and energy transition goals.

Measured in million tonnes, the dataset reflects the volume of carbon dioxide released from energy production and consumption activities and serves as an important indicator of economic activity, energy demand, industrial development, and progress toward emission management and sustainability objectives.

Uzbekistan recorded 107.6 million tonnes of energy-related carbon dioxide emissions in 2015, declining slightly to 103.6 million tonnes in 2016 before increasing to 105.4 million tonnes in 2017. Emissions continued to rise to 109.0 million tonnes in 2018 and remained relatively stable at 108.9 million tonnes in 2019. Carbon dioxide emissions increased to 110.8 million tonnes in 2020, followed by 115.7 million tonnes in 2021. Emissions continued their upward trajectory, reaching 120.7 million tonnes in 2022 before easing marginally to 120.1 million tonnes in 2023. Despite the slight decline in the final year, emissions remained at historically high levels throughout the latter part of the review period.

Overall, the dataset demonstrates a gradual long-term upward trend in energy-related carbon emissions with only modest year-to-year fluctuations. The sustained increase reflects expanding economic activity, rising electricity and fuel demand, continued industrialization, and ongoing reliance on fossil fuels to support economic growth. At the same time, the observed trends highlight the importance of improving energy efficiency, diversifying the energy mix, and strengthening emission reduction initiatives to support long-term sustainability goals.

The dataset is valuable for evaluating Uzbekistan's long-term emission performance, monitoring changes in energy-related carbon output, supporting climate policy analysis, and benchmarking national trends against regional economies. It also provides a dependable foundation for forecasting future energy-sector emissions, assessing sustainability initiatives, and understanding the relationship between economic development, energy consumption, and environmental performance over time.
