How they compare

IDA only currently reports 9.71 Mt CO2e against 6.01 Mt CO2e in Belgium, a difference of 3.7 Mt CO2e.

That makes IDA only's figure about 1.6 times Belgium's.

The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Belgium ahead.

Belgium ranks 41st and IDA only ranks 41st of 190 countries.

Across the 6 decades both report, Belgium averaged higher in 2 and IDA only in 4.

A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from fugitive emissions (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.1.bc Petroleum Refining - Manufacture of Solid Fuels and Other Energy Industries, 1.B.1 Solid Fuels, 1.B.2 Oil and Natural Gas, 5.B. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
