Belgium vs Least developed countries: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Belgium
- Least developed countries
How they compare
Least developed countries currently reports 10.32 Mt CO2e against 6.01 Mt CO2e in Belgium, a difference of 4.31 Mt CO2e.
That makes Least developed countries's figure about 1.7 times Belgium's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Least developed countries ahead.
Belgium ranks 41st and Least developed countries ranks 40th of 190 countries.
Least developed countries has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Belgium | Least developed countries | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 7.09 Mt CO2e | 10.08 Mt CO2e | 3 Mt CO2e | Least developed countries |
| 1980s | 7.22 Mt CO2e | 13.3 Mt CO2e | 6.07 Mt CO2e | Least developed countries |
| 1990s | 5.93 Mt CO2e | 13.08 Mt CO2e | 7.15 Mt CO2e | Least developed countries |
| 2000s | 5.15 Mt CO2e | 16.3 Mt CO2e | 11.15 Mt CO2e | Least developed countries |
| 2010s | 6.52 Mt CO2e | 15.5 Mt CO2e | 8.98 Mt CO2e | Least developed countries |
| 2020s | 5.92 Mt CO2e | 11.4 Mt CO2e | 5.48 Mt CO2e | Least developed countries |
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 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).
