Russia vs Sub-Saharan Africa: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Processes
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Russia
- Sub-Saharan Africa
How they compare
Russia currently reports 111.76 Mt CO2e against 76.22 Mt CO2e in Sub-Saharan Africa, a difference of 35.54 Mt CO2e.
That makes Russia's figure about 1.5 times Sub-Saharan Africa's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Russia has been ahead every year.
Russia ranks 4th and Sub-Saharan Africa ranks 30th of 203 countries.
Russia has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
