Kuwait vs South Asia: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Kuwait
- South Asia
How they compare
South Asia currently reports 113.33 Mt CO2e against 20.27 Mt CO2e in Kuwait, a difference of 93.06 Mt CO2e.
That makes South Asia's figure about 5.6 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 South Asia ranks 26th of 190 countries.
South Asia has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Kuwait | South Asia | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 18.29 Mt CO2e | 20.5 Mt CO2e | 2.21 Mt CO2e | South Asia |
| 1980s | 5.19 Mt CO2e | 27.31 Mt CO2e | 22.12 Mt CO2e | South Asia |
| 1990s | 12.58 Mt CO2e | 38.9 Mt CO2e | 26.32 Mt CO2e | South Asia |
| 2000s | 16.42 Mt CO2e | 59.95 Mt CO2e | 43.54 Mt CO2e | South Asia |
| 2010s | 17.7 Mt CO2e | 81.1 Mt CO2e | 63.41 Mt CO2e | South Asia |
| 2020s | 17.82 Mt CO2e | 105.41 Mt CO2e | 87.58 Mt CO2e | South Asia |
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).
