China vs IBRD only: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Power Industry (Energy)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- China
- IBRD only
How they compare
IBRD only currently reports 11,465 Mt CO2e against 6,578 Mt CO2e in China, a difference of 4,887 Mt CO2e.
That makes IBRD only's figure about 1.7 times China's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, IBRD only has been ahead every year.
China ranks 1st and IBRD only ranks 3rd of 194 countries.
IBRD only 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 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).
