- Iran
- Russia
How they compare
Russia currently reports 210.54 Mt CO2e against 101.49 Mt CO2e in Iran, a difference of 109.05 Mt CO2e.
That makes Russia's figure about 2.1 times Iran's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Russia has been ahead every year.
Iran ranks 6th and Russia ranks 3rd of 190 countries.
Russia 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).
