Canada vs South Asia: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Processes
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Canada
- South Asia
How they compare
South Asia currently reports 277.09 Mt CO2e against 31.89 Mt CO2e in Canada, a difference of 245.2 Mt CO2e.
That makes South Asia's figure about 8.7 times Canada's.
The two have swapped places 6 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was South Asia ahead.
Canada ranks 16th and South Asia ranks 18th of 203 countries.
South Asia has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Canada | South Asia | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 20 Mt CO2e | 20.43 Mt CO2e | 0.4339 Mt CO2e | South Asia |
| 1980s | 24.41 Mt CO2e | 31.62 Mt CO2e | 7.21 Mt CO2e | South Asia |
| 1990s | 26.94 Mt CO2e | 58.85 Mt CO2e | 31.9 Mt CO2e | South Asia |
| 2000s | 30.32 Mt CO2e | 99.53 Mt CO2e | 69.21 Mt CO2e | South Asia |
| 2010s | 28.84 Mt CO2e | 180.68 Mt CO2e | 151.84 Mt CO2e | South Asia |
| 2020s | 30.73 Mt CO2e | 240.91 Mt CO2e | 210.18 Mt CO2e | South Asia |
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).
