South Africa vs Thailand: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Processes
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- South Africa
- Thailand
How they compare
Thailand currently reports 29.69 Mt CO2e against 19.98 Mt CO2e in South Africa, a difference of 9.71 Mt CO2e.
That makes Thailand's figure about 1.5 times South Africa's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was South Africa ahead.
South Africa ranks 19th and Thailand ranks 17th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, South Africa averaged higher in 2 and Thailand in 4.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | South Africa | Thailand | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 16.35 Mt CO2e | 4.41 Mt CO2e | 11.95 Mt CO2e | South Africa |
| 1980s | 11.44 Mt CO2e | 6.47 Mt CO2e | 4.97 Mt CO2e | South Africa |
| 1990s | 11.57 Mt CO2e | 17.71 Mt CO2e | 6.14 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
| 2000s | 15.77 Mt CO2e | 22.73 Mt CO2e | 6.96 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
| 2010s | 17.41 Mt CO2e | 26.56 Mt CO2e | 9.15 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
| 2020s | 17.25 Mt CO2e | 29.43 Mt CO2e | 12.18 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
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).
