Congo vs Uruguay: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Processes
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Congo
- Uruguay
How they compare
Uruguay currently reports 0.3983 Mt CO2e against 0.3642 Mt CO2e in Congo, a difference of 0.0341 Mt CO2e.
That makes Uruguay's figure about 1.1 times Congo's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Uruguay ahead.
Congo ranks 133rd and Uruguay ranks 131st of 203 countries.
Uruguay 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 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).
