Libya vs Switzerland: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Processes
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Libya
- Switzerland
How they compare
Libya currently reports 2.73 Mt CO2e against 2.57 Mt CO2e in Switzerland, a difference of 0.16 Mt CO2e.
That makes Libya's figure about 1.1 times Switzerland's.
The two have swapped places 7 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Switzerland ahead.
Libya ranks 73rd and Switzerland ranks 74th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Libya averaged higher in 3 and Switzerland in 3.

| Decade | Libya | Switzerland | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 1.1 Mt CO2e | 3.94 Mt CO2e | 2.84 Mt CO2e | Switzerland |
| 1980s | 3.26 Mt CO2e | 3.67 Mt CO2e | 0.4121 Mt CO2e | Switzerland |
| 1990s | 3.35 Mt CO2e | 3.07 Mt CO2e | 0.2818 Mt CO2e | Libya |
| 2000s | 4.5 Mt CO2e | 2.77 Mt CO2e | 1.73 Mt CO2e | Libya |
| 2010s | 3.37 Mt CO2e | 2.81 Mt CO2e | 0.5562 Mt CO2e | Libya |
| 2020s | 2.53 Mt CO2e | 2.59 Mt CO2e | 0.0665 Mt CO2e | Switzerland |
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).
