South Korea vs Mexico: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Processes
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- South Korea
- Mexico
How they compare
Mexico currently reports 55.82 Mt CO2e against 53.11 Mt CO2e in South Korea, a difference of 2.71 Mt CO2e.
That makes Mexico's figure about 1.1 times South Korea's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Mexico ahead.
South Korea ranks 11th and Mexico ranks 8th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, South Korea averaged higher in 3 and Mexico in 3.

| Decade | South Korea | Mexico | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 9.13 Mt CO2e | 16.45 Mt CO2e | 7.32 Mt CO2e | Mexico |
| 1980s | 16.53 Mt CO2e | 22.59 Mt CO2e | 6.07 Mt CO2e | Mexico |
| 1990s | 39.56 Mt CO2e | 27.06 Mt CO2e | 12.51 Mt CO2e | South Korea |
| 2000s | 46.59 Mt CO2e | 26.2 Mt CO2e | 20.39 Mt CO2e | South Korea |
| 2010s | 47.3 Mt CO2e | 34.95 Mt CO2e | 12.35 Mt CO2e | South Korea |
| 2020s | 53.91 Mt CO2e | 56.64 Mt CO2e | 2.73 Mt CO2e | Mexico |
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).
