Iraq vs Qatar: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Processes
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Iraq
- Qatar
How they compare
Qatar currently reports 16.33 Mt CO2e against 14.96 Mt CO2e in Iraq, a difference of 1.37 Mt CO2e.
That makes Qatar's figure about 1.1 times Iraq's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Iraq ahead.
Iraq ranks 30th and Qatar ranks 27th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Iraq averaged higher in 3 and Qatar in 3.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Iraq | Qatar | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 1.89 Mt CO2e | 0.458 Mt CO2e | 1.43 Mt CO2e | Iraq |
| 1980s | 4.63 Mt CO2e | 1.54 Mt CO2e | 3.08 Mt CO2e | Iraq |
| 1990s | 4.18 Mt CO2e | 2.59 Mt CO2e | 1.58 Mt CO2e | Iraq |
| 2000s | 2.47 Mt CO2e | 5.64 Mt CO2e | 3.17 Mt CO2e | Qatar |
| 2010s | 6.33 Mt CO2e | 14.04 Mt CO2e | 7.71 Mt CO2e | Qatar |
| 2020s | 14.11 Mt CO2e | 15.88 Mt CO2e | 1.77 Mt CO2e | Qatar |
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).
