China vs World: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Processes
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- China
- World
How they compare
World currently reports 3,192 Mt CO2e against 1,396 Mt CO2e in China, a difference of 1,796 Mt CO2e.
That makes World's figure about 2.3 times China's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, World has been ahead every year.
China ranks 1st and World ranks 1st of 203 countries.
World has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | China | World | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 104.06 Mt CO2e | 1,030 Mt CO2e | 925.94 Mt CO2e | World |
| 1980s | 173.84 Mt CO2e | 1,150 Mt CO2e | 976.31 Mt CO2e | World |
| 1990s | 347.1 Mt CO2e | 1,397 Mt CO2e | 1,050 Mt CO2e | World |
| 2000s | 718.38 Mt CO2e | 1,977 Mt CO2e | 1,259 Mt CO2e | World |
| 2010s | 1,338 Mt CO2e | 2,875 Mt CO2e | 1,537 Mt CO2e | World |
| 2020s | 1,488 Mt CO2e | 3,239 Mt CO2e | 1,751 Mt CO2e | World |
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).
