CO2 Emissions in Kyrgyzstan: primary sources and connection to GDP

Kyrgyzstan Total CO2 emissions by source

How much do coal, oil, gas, cement and flaring contribute to CO2 emissions in Kyrgyzstan?

In 2022, Kyrgyzstan’s carbon footprint amounted to 9,308,101 metric tons of CO2 emissions. The primary sources of these emissions were coal, contributing 3,599,533 metric tons, and oil, accounting for 4,234,129 metric tons.

Gas emissions totaled 691,823 metric tons, while cement emissions reached 782,616 metric tons.

Notably, flaring emissions were absent.

These figures underscore the significant role of coal and oil in Kyrgyzstan’s economy and their impact on CO2 emissions.

The connection between these emissions and the country’s GDP warrants further analysis.
