🏭 CO₂ Emissions Today: Live Global Carbon Counter

See how much carbon dioxide is estimated to be emitted worldwide today. The page converts its annual emissions baseline into per-second, daily, monthly and yearly UTC-based estimates.

Why this matters

CO₂ emissions are one of the clearest indicators of global energy use, industrial activity and climate pressure.

Readable live context

This page turns a large yearly estimate into a simple page that can be understood quickly.

UTC-based timing

Daily, monthly and yearly progress uses UTC time so the counter has one consistent global reference.

Connected data hub

The page links back to the homepage, Live Data hub, sources and related topic pages.

How this is estimated

The live counter converts an annual emissions baseline into per-second UTC progression for today, this month and this year.

Pulse Of Globe pages use publicly available yearly statistics and convert them into real-time estimates. Values are directional estimates, not official live measurements. For methodology and public datasets, visit the Data Sources page.

How much CO₂ is emitted worldwide each day?

The current model uses a 36 billion tonne annual baseline, which is roughly 98.6 million tonnes per day when averaged across a 365-day year.

Per second

The current model is equivalent to roughly 1,142 tonnes of CO₂ per second.

Per day

A 36 billion tonne annual baseline averages about 98.6 million tonnes per day.

Why it changes live

The displayed total rises with elapsed UTC time rather than waiting for a daily data release.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about this estimate, its time scale and how to interpret the number.

How much CO₂ is emitted per second?

The current page model averages roughly 1,142 tonnes of CO₂ per second.

How much CO₂ is emitted per day?

The current annual baseline averages roughly 98.6 million tonnes per day.

Is this an official real-time emissions feed?

No. It is a live-style estimate based on an annual baseline and UTC time progression.

Where can I compare related indicators?

Compare CO₂ with electricity consumed, oil consumed and renewable energy produced on Pulse Of Globe.
