Afghanistan vs Myanmar: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Afghanistan
- Myanmar
How they compare
Afghanistan currently reports 3.53 Mt CO2e against 3.34 Mt CO2e in Myanmar, a difference of 0.19 Mt CO2e.
That makes Afghanistan's figure about 1.1 times Myanmar's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Myanmar ahead.
Afghanistan ranks 73rd and Myanmar ranks 75th of 193 countries.
Myanmar has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Afghanistan | Myanmar | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.1216 Mt CO2e | 1.52 Mt CO2e | 1.4 Mt CO2e | Myanmar |
| 1980s | 0.3234 Mt CO2e | 1.71 Mt CO2e | 1.39 Mt CO2e | Myanmar |
| 1990s | 0.425 Mt CO2e | 1.04 Mt CO2e | 0.6102 Mt CO2e | Myanmar |
| 2000s | 0.4718 Mt CO2e | 2.04 Mt CO2e | 1.57 Mt CO2e | Myanmar |
| 2010s | 2.6 Mt CO2e | 5.22 Mt CO2e | 2.62 Mt CO2e | Myanmar |
| 2020s | 3.3 Mt CO2e | 5.07 Mt CO2e | 1.77 Mt CO2e | Myanmar |
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 industrial combustion (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.2 Manufacturing Industries and Construction. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
