Australia vs Iraq: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Processes
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Australia
- Iraq
How they compare
Iraq currently reports 14.96 Mt CO2e against 13.48 Mt CO2e in Australia, a difference of 1.48 Mt CO2e.
That makes Iraq's figure about 1.1 times Australia's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Australia ahead.
Australia ranks 33rd and Iraq ranks 30th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Australia averaged higher in 5 and Iraq in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Australia | Iraq | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 9.16 Mt CO2e | 1.89 Mt CO2e | 7.27 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 1980s | 10.06 Mt CO2e | 4.63 Mt CO2e | 5.44 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 1990s | 12.06 Mt CO2e | 4.18 Mt CO2e | 7.88 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 2000s | 15.02 Mt CO2e | 2.47 Mt CO2e | 12.55 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 2010s | 14.82 Mt CO2e | 6.33 Mt CO2e | 8.49 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 2020s | 13.99 Mt CO2e | 14.11 Mt CO2e | 0.1188 Mt CO2e | Iraq |
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 processes including IPCC 2006 codes 2.A.1 Cement production, 2.A.2 Lime production, 2.A.3 Glass Production, 2.A.4 Other Process Uses of Carbonates, 2.B Chemical Industry, 2.C Metal Industry, 2.D Non-Energy Products from Fuels and Solvent Use, 2.E Electronics Industry, 2.F Product Uses as Substitutes for Ozone Depleting Substances, 2.G Other Product Manufacture and Use and 5.A Indirect N2O emissions from the atmospheric deposition of nitrogen in NOx and NH3. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
