- Algeria
- Kuwait
How they compare
Kuwait currently reports 51.13 Mt CO2e against 44.67 Mt CO2e in Algeria, a difference of 6.46 Mt CO2e.
That makes Kuwait's figure about 1.1 times Algeria's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Kuwait ahead.
Algeria ranks 32nd and Kuwait ranks 30th of 194 countries.
Kuwait has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Algeria | Kuwait | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 2.2 Mt CO2e | 4.88 Mt CO2e | 2.68 Mt CO2e | Kuwait |
| 1980s | 8.24 Mt CO2e | 13.49 Mt CO2e | 5.25 Mt CO2e | Kuwait |
| 1990s | 12.48 Mt CO2e | 14.12 Mt CO2e | 1.64 Mt CO2e | Kuwait |
| 2000s | 20.24 Mt CO2e | 33.81 Mt CO2e | 13.57 Mt CO2e | Kuwait |
| 2010s | 33.57 Mt CO2e | 43.38 Mt CO2e | 9.81 Mt CO2e | Kuwait |

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from electricity and heat generation (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.1.a. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
