Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- South Korea
- Malaysia
How they compare
South Korea currently reports 49 Mt CO2e against 42.38 Mt CO2e in Malaysia, a difference of 6.62 Mt CO2e.
That makes South Korea's figure about 1.2 times Malaysia's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was South Korea ahead.
South Korea ranks 11th and Malaysia ranks 12th of 190 countries.
South Korea has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | South Korea | Malaysia | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 7.53 Mt CO2e | 2.71 Mt CO2e | 4.82 Mt CO2e | South Korea |
| 1980s | 22.34 Mt CO2e | 9.88 Mt CO2e | 12.46 Mt CO2e | South Korea |
| 1990s | 28.32 Mt CO2e | 14.81 Mt CO2e | 13.52 Mt CO2e | South Korea |
| 2000s | 32.67 Mt CO2e | 25.27 Mt CO2e | 7.4 Mt CO2e | South Korea |
| 2010s | 47.4 Mt CO2e | 24.55 Mt CO2e | 22.85 Mt CO2e | South Korea |
| 2020s | 49.71 Mt CO2e | 36.61 Mt CO2e | 13.11 Mt CO2e | South Korea |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

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).
