Least developed countries vs United Kingdom: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Processes
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Least developed countries
- United Kingdom
How they compare
Least developed countries currently reports 56.28 Mt CO2e against 10.27 Mt CO2e in United Kingdom, a difference of 46.01 Mt CO2e.
That makes Least developed countries's figure about 5.5 times United Kingdom's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was United Kingdom ahead.
Least developed countries ranks 36th and United Kingdom ranks 41st of 45 groups.
Across the 6 decades both report, Least developed countries averaged higher in 2 and United Kingdom in 4.

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).
