Total greenhouse gas emissions (kt of CO2 equivalent)
The value for Total greenhouse gas emissions (kt of CO2 equivalent) in Dem. People's Rep. Korea was 41,910 as of 2018. As the graph below shows, over the past 28 years this indicator reached a maximum value of 159,020 in 1990 and a minimum value of 41,910 in 2018.
Definition: Total greenhouse gas emissions in kt of CO2 equivalent are composed of CO2 totals excluding short-cycle biomass burning (such as agricultural waste burning and Savannah burning) but including other biomass burning (such as forest fires, post-burn decay, peat fires and decay of drained peatlands), all anthropogenic CH4 sources, N2O sources and F-gases (HFCs, PFCs and SF6).
