- Iraq
- Qatar
How they compare
Iraq currently reports 53.97 Mt CO2e against 51.15 Mt CO2e in Qatar, a difference of 2.82 Mt CO2e.
That makes Iraq's figure about 1.1 times Qatar's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Iraq ahead.
Iraq ranks 9th and Qatar ranks 10th of 190 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Iraq averaged higher in 5 and Qatar in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Iraq | Qatar | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 20.07 Mt CO2e | 15.36 Mt CO2e | 4.71 Mt CO2e | Iraq |
| 1980s | 13.86 Mt CO2e | 4.37 Mt CO2e | 9.49 Mt CO2e | Iraq |
| 1990s | 11.45 Mt CO2e | 8.26 Mt CO2e | 3.19 Mt CO2e | Iraq |
| 2000s | 17.68 Mt CO2e | 17.39 Mt CO2e | 0.2899 Mt CO2e | Iraq |
| 2010s | 39.44 Mt CO2e | 43.68 Mt CO2e | 4.24 Mt CO2e | Qatar |

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).
