- Saudi Arabia
- Viet Nam
How they compare
Viet Nam currently reports 111.63 Mt CO2e against 102.97 Mt CO2e in Saudi Arabia, a difference of 8.66 Mt CO2e.
That makes Viet Nam's figure about 1.1 times Saudi Arabia's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Saudi Arabia ahead.
Saudi Arabia ranks 9th and Viet Nam ranks 8th of 193 countries.
Saudi Arabia 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).
