France vs Libya: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- France
- Libya
How they compare
France currently reports 16.88 Mt CO2e against 14.31 Mt CO2e in Libya, a difference of 2.57 Mt CO2e.
That makes France's figure about 1.2 times Libya's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Libya ahead.
France ranks 30th and Libya ranks 32nd of 190 countries.
France 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).
