Least developed countries vs Libya: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Least developed countries
- Libya
How they compare
Libya currently reports 14.31 Mt CO2e against 10.32 Mt CO2e in Least developed countries, a difference of 3.99 Mt CO2e.
That makes Libya's figure about 1.4 times Least developed countries's.
The two have swapped places 8 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Libya ahead.
Least developed countries ranks 40th and Libya ranks 32nd of 45 groups.
Across the 6 decades both report, Least developed countries averaged higher in 3 and Libya in 3.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Least developed countries | Libya | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 10.08 Mt CO2e | 16.03 Mt CO2e | 5.94 Mt CO2e | Libya |
| 1980s | 13.3 Mt CO2e | 8.2 Mt CO2e | 5.09 Mt CO2e | Least developed countries |
| 1990s | 13.08 Mt CO2e | 14.27 Mt CO2e | 1.19 Mt CO2e | Libya |
| 2000s | 16.3 Mt CO2e | 12.28 Mt CO2e | 4.01 Mt CO2e | Least developed countries |
| 2010s | 15.5 Mt CO2e | 9.85 Mt CO2e | 5.66 Mt CO2e | Least developed countries |
| 2020s | 11.4 Mt CO2e | 12.38 Mt CO2e | 0.98 Mt CO2e | Libya |
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).
