Ethiopia vs Iceland: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Power Industry (Energy)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- Ethiopia
- Iceland
How they compare
Iceland currently reports 0.0067 Mt CO2e against 0.0022 Mt CO2e in Ethiopia, a difference of 0.0045 Mt CO2e.
That makes Iceland's figure about 3.0 times Ethiopia's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Ethiopia ahead.
Ethiopia ranks 191st and Iceland ranks 188th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Ethiopia averaged higher in 5 and Iceland in 1.

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).
