Nigeria vs South Asia: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Nigeria
- South Asia
How they compare
South Asia currently reports 113.33 Mt CO2e against 23.08 Mt CO2e in Nigeria, a difference of 90.25 Mt CO2e.
That makes South Asia's figure about 4.9 times Nigeria's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Nigeria ahead.
Nigeria ranks 23rd and South Asia ranks 28th of 190 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Nigeria averaged higher in 3 and South Asia in 3.

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).
