China vs Russian Federation: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Building (Energy)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- China
- Russian Federation
How they compare
China currently reports 586.64 Mt CO2e against 249.23 Mt CO2e in Russian Federation, a difference of 337.41 Mt CO2e.
That makes China's figure about 2.4 times Russian Federation's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Russian Federation ahead.
China ranks 1st and Russian Federation ranks 3rd of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, China averaged higher in 5 and Russian Federation in 1.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the building sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.4 Residential and other sectors, 1.A.5 Non-Specified. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
