Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Ghana
- Libya
How they compare
Ghana currently reports 2.98 Mt CO2e against 2.73 Mt CO2e in Libya, a difference of 0.25 Mt CO2e.
That makes Ghana's figure about 1.1 times Libya's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Libya ahead.
Ghana ranks 72nd and Libya ranks 73rd of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Ghana averaged higher in 1 and Libya in 5.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Ghana | Libya | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.5008 Mt CO2e | 1.1 Mt CO2e | 0.6034 Mt CO2e | Libya |
| 1980s | 0.3934 Mt CO2e | 3.26 Mt CO2e | 2.86 Mt CO2e | Libya |
| 1990s | 0.8353 Mt CO2e | 3.35 Mt CO2e | 2.52 Mt CO2e | Libya |
| 2000s | 0.9201 Mt CO2e | 4.5 Mt CO2e | 3.58 Mt CO2e | Libya |
| 2010s | 1.69 Mt CO2e | 3.37 Mt CO2e | 1.68 Mt CO2e | Libya |
| 2020s | 2.91 Mt CO2e | 2.53 Mt CO2e | 0.3789 Mt CO2e | Ghana |
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).
