Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- Bangladesh
- Pakistan
How they compare
Bangladesh currently reports 61.24 Mt CO2e against 56.23 Mt CO2e in Pakistan, a difference of 5.01 Mt CO2e.
That makes Bangladesh's figure about 1.1 times Pakistan's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Pakistan ahead.
Bangladesh ranks 26th and Pakistan ranks 28th of 194 countries.
Pakistan has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Bangladesh | Pakistan | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.9578 Mt CO2e | 3.08 Mt CO2e | 2.12 Mt CO2e | Pakistan |
| 1980s | 2.64 Mt CO2e | 7.96 Mt CO2e | 5.33 Mt CO2e | Pakistan |
| 1990s | 6.17 Mt CO2e | 23.42 Mt CO2e | 17.25 Mt CO2e | Pakistan |
| 2000s | 14.6 Mt CO2e | 36.91 Mt CO2e | 22.31 Mt CO2e | Pakistan |
| 2010s | 36.75 Mt CO2e | 45.28 Mt CO2e | 8.53 Mt CO2e | Pakistan |

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).
