- Mexico
- Saudi Arabia
How they compare
Saudi Arabia currently reports 85.92 Mt CO2e against 55.82 Mt CO2e in Mexico, a difference of 30.1 Mt CO2e.
That makes Saudi Arabia's figure about 1.5 times Mexico's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Mexico ahead.
Mexico ranks 8th and Saudi Arabia ranks 5th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Mexico averaged higher in 3 and Saudi Arabia in 3.

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).
