Canada vs World: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Canada
- World
How they compare
World currently reports 2,788 Mt CO2e against 140.26 Mt CO2e in Canada, a difference of 2,648 Mt CO2e.
That makes World's figure about 19.9 times Canada's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, World has been ahead every year.
Canada ranks 4th and World ranks 1st of 190 countries.
World has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
