China vs IBRD only: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- China
- IBRD only
How they compare
IBRD only currently reports 4,868 Mt CO2e against 2,793 Mt CO2e in China, a difference of 2,075 Mt CO2e.
That makes IBRD only's figure about 1.7 times China's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, IBRD only has been ahead every year.
China ranks 1st and IBRD only ranks 3rd of 193 countries.
IBRD only has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 490.2 Mt CO2e | 1,455 Mt CO2e | 964.85 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 1980s | 676.02 Mt CO2e | 1,847 Mt CO2e | 1,171 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 1990s | 899.2 Mt CO2e | 2,025 Mt CO2e | 1,126 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 2000s | 1,655 Mt CO2e | 2,914 Mt CO2e | 1,259 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 2010s | 2,888 Mt CO2e | 4,567 Mt CO2e | 1,679 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 2020s | 2,761 Mt CO2e | 4,695 Mt CO2e | 1,934 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
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).
