China vs IBRD only: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Processes
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- China
- IBRD only
How they compare
IBRD only currently reports 2,397 Mt CO2e against 1,396 Mt CO2e in China, a difference of 1,001 Mt CO2e.
That makes IBRD only's figure about 1.7 times China's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, IBRD only has been ahead every year.
China ranks 1st and IBRD only ranks 3rd of 203 countries.
IBRD only has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | China | IBRD only | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 104.06 Mt CO2e | 460.83 Mt CO2e | 356.77 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 1980s | 173.84 Mt CO2e | 598.51 Mt CO2e | 424.67 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 1990s | 347.1 Mt CO2e | 786.8 Mt CO2e | 439.7 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 2000s | 718.38 Mt CO2e | 1,308 Mt CO2e | 589.2 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 2010s | 1,338 Mt CO2e | 2,141 Mt CO2e | 802.36 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 2020s | 1,488 Mt CO2e | 2,442 Mt CO2e | 953.63 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
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).
