- India
- United States
How they compare
India currently reports 689.15 Mt CO2e against 443.93 Mt CO2e in United States, a difference of 245.22 Mt CO2e.
That makes India's figure about 1.6 times United States's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was United States ahead.
India ranks 2nd and United States ranks 3rd of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, India averaged higher in 2 and United States in 4.

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).
