How they compare

Russian Federation currently reports 210.54 Mt CO2e against 146.29 Mt CO2e in European Union, a difference of 64.25 Mt CO2e.

That makes Russian Federation's figure about 1.4 times European Union's.

The two have swapped places 11 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was European Union ahead.

European Union ranks 26th and Russian Federation ranks 3rd of 47 groups.

Across the 6 decades both report, European Union averaged higher in 4 and Russian Federation in 2.

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).
