BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 12. Uzbekistan's
carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions increased by 1% in 2024 to 121.8
million metric tons, compared with 120.6 million metric tons a year
earlier, according to data published in Italian energy company
Eni's World Energy Review 2026.
The review's historical data show that Uzbekistan's CO₂
emissions generally followed an upward trend from 2015 to 2024,
rising from 94.4 million metric tons to 121.8 million metric
tons.
According to Trend's calculations based on Eni's figures, emissions
increased by 27.4 million metric tons, or approximately 29%, over
the nine-year period. This corresponds to a compound annual growth
rate (CAGR) of around 2.9%.
The data also indicate that emissions rose by 8.9% in 2020, from
101.5 million metric tons in 2019 to 110.5 million metric tons.
They subsequently increased by 8.1% in 2021 to 119.5 million metric
tons, before declining by 2.8% to 116.2 million metric tons in
2022. Emissions then rebounded by 3.8% in 2023, reaching 120.6
million metric tons.
Among the countries covered in the review, Uzbekistan recorded
the second-highest CO₂ emissions in Central Asia in 2024, behind
Kazakhstan, which reported 243 million metric tons. Turkmenistan
followed with 87.9 million metric tons, while Kyrgyzstan and
Tajikistan recorded 11.9 million and 8.9 million metric tons,
respectively.
Uzbekistan accounted for approximately 25.7% of the combined
emissions of the five Central Asian countries listed in the review
in 2024. Its emissions were also around half the level recorded in
Kazakhstan.
Eni's World Energy Review 2026 examines global energy
developments using data for 2025. However, the emissions table
provides no 2025 figure for Uzbekistan, making 2024 the latest year
available for the country.
