Indonesia vs United States: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Agriculture
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Agriculture over time
- Indonesia
- United States
How they compare
United States currently reports 6.84 Mt CO2e against 4.78 Mt CO2e in Indonesia, a difference of 2.06 Mt CO2e.
That makes United States's figure about 1.4 times Indonesia's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was United States ahead.
Indonesia ranks 8th and United States ranks 5th of 109 countries.
United States has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Indonesia | United States | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.7281 Mt CO2e | 3.43 Mt CO2e | 2.7 Mt CO2e | United States |
| 1980s | 2.39 Mt CO2e | 3.99 Mt CO2e | 1.6 Mt CO2e | United States |
| 1990s | 3.37 Mt CO2e | 4.91 Mt CO2e | 1.55 Mt CO2e | United States |
| 2000s | 4.36 Mt CO2e | 5.56 Mt CO2e | 1.2 Mt CO2e | United States |
| 2010s | 5.57 Mt CO2e | 6.45 Mt CO2e | 0.8892 Mt CO2e | United States |
| 2020s | 5.19 Mt CO2e | 6.75 Mt CO2e | 1.57 Mt CO2e | United States |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agricultural sector. This includes emissions from livestock (IPCC 2006 codes 3.A.1 (enteric fermentation, 3.a.2 (manure management) and crops (IPCC 2006 codes 3.C.1 Emissions from biomass burning, 3.C.2 Liming, 3.C.3 Urea application, 3.C.4 Direct N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.5 Indirect N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.6 Indirect N2O Emissions from manure management, 3.C.7 Rice cultivations). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
