Kuwait vs Nigeria: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Kuwait
- Nigeria
How they compare
Nigeria currently reports 23.08 Mt CO2e against 20.27 Mt CO2e in Kuwait, a difference of 2.81 Mt CO2e.
That makes Nigeria's figure about 1.1 times Kuwait's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Kuwait ahead.
Kuwait ranks 25th and Nigeria ranks 23rd of 190 countries.
Nigeria 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).
