It reflects that one tonne of carbon, when fully oxidized, forms 3.664 tonnes of CO\u2082, based on the relative molecular weights of carbon and oxygen in CO\u2082.\n- Emissions from the 1991 Kuwaiti oil fires are included in Kuwait's emissions for that year.\n- To calculate CO\u2082 emissions per capita, we divide the original data by a country's estimated population.
