Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- Germany
- India
How they compare
India currently reports 210.24 Mt CO2e against 118.92 Mt CO2e in Germany, a difference of 91.32 Mt CO2e.
That makes India's figure about 1.8 times Germany's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Germany ahead.
Germany ranks 6th and India ranks 4th of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Germany averaged higher in 4 and India in 2.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 262.88 Mt CO2e | 36.83 Mt CO2e | 226.05 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 1980s | 238.86 Mt CO2e | 62.58 Mt CO2e | 176.28 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 1990s | 199.93 Mt CO2e | 101.08 Mt CO2e | 98.85 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 2000s | 163.2 Mt CO2e | 128.98 Mt CO2e | 34.22 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 2010s | 134.83 Mt CO2e | 162.55 Mt CO2e | 27.71 Mt CO2e | India |
| 2020s | 122.83 Mt CO2e | 195.42 Mt CO2e | 72.59 Mt CO2e | India |
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 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).
