Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- Germany
- Viet Nam
How they compare
Viet Nam currently reports 196.78 Mt CO2e against 171.4 Mt CO2e in Germany, a difference of 25.38 Mt CO2e.
That makes Viet Nam's figure about 1.1 times Germany's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Germany ahead.
Germany ranks 12th and Viet Nam ranks 11th of 194 countries.
Germany 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).
