Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Congo
- Peru
How they compare
Congo currently reports 3.82 Mt CO2e against 3.49 Mt CO2e in Peru, a difference of 0.33 Mt CO2e.
That makes Congo's figure about 1.1 times Peru's.
The two have swapped places 9 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Peru ahead.
Congo ranks 53rd and Peru ranks 55th of 190 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Congo averaged higher in 4 and Peru in 2.

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).
