Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Iran
- Iraq
How they compare
Iran currently reports 101.49 Mt CO2e against 53.97 Mt CO2e in Iraq, a difference of 47.52 Mt CO2e.
That makes Iran's figure about 1.9 times Iraq's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Iran ahead.
Iran ranks 6th and Iraq ranks 9th of 190 countries.
Iran has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Iran | Iraq | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 58.07 Mt CO2e | 20.07 Mt CO2e | 38 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 1980s | 21.42 Mt CO2e | 13.86 Mt CO2e | 7.56 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 1990s | 36.01 Mt CO2e | 11.45 Mt CO2e | 24.56 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 2000s | 52.16 Mt CO2e | 17.68 Mt CO2e | 34.49 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 2010s | 65.78 Mt CO2e | 39.44 Mt CO2e | 26.34 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 2020s | 90.69 Mt CO2e | 51.36 Mt CO2e | 39.33 Mt CO2e | Iran |

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).
