Germany vs OECD members: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Germany
- OECD members
How they compare
OECD members currently reports 1,275 Mt CO2e against 84.7 Mt CO2e in Germany, a difference of 1,190 Mt CO2e.
That makes OECD members's figure about 15.1 times Germany's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, OECD members has been ahead every year.
Germany ranks 10th and OECD members ranks 13th of 193 countries.
OECD members has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
