Australia vs Malaysia: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Australia
- Malaysia
How they compare
Australia currently reports 39.55 Mt CO2e against 35.33 Mt CO2e in Malaysia, a difference of 4.22 Mt CO2e.
That makes Australia's figure about 1.1 times Malaysia's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Australia ahead.
Australia ranks 21st and Malaysia ranks 23rd of 193 countries.
Australia has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

| Decade | Australia | Malaysia | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 44.85 Mt CO2e | 8.56 Mt CO2e | 36.29 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 1980s | 39.97 Mt CO2e | 9.41 Mt CO2e | 30.56 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 1990s | 45.27 Mt CO2e | 19.69 Mt CO2e | 25.58 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 2000s | 43.84 Mt CO2e | 33.28 Mt CO2e | 10.56 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 2010s | 39.19 Mt CO2e | 31.04 Mt CO2e | 8.15 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 2020s | 39.65 Mt CO2e | 34.46 Mt CO2e | 5.2 Mt CO2e | Australia |
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).
