Euro area vs Russian Federation: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Power Industry (Energy)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- Euro area
- Russian Federation
How they compare
Russian Federation currently reports 852.29 Mt CO2e against 413.59 Mt CO2e in Euro area, a difference of 438.7 Mt CO2e.
That makes Russian Federation's figure about 2.1 times Euro area's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Euro area ahead.
Euro area ranks 27th and Russian Federation ranks 4th of 47 groups.
Across the 6 decades both report, Euro area averaged higher in 2 and Russian Federation in 4.

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).
