Libya vs Other small states: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Power Industry (Energy)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- Libya
- Other small states
How they compare
Libya currently reports 23.21 Mt CO2e against 15.07 Mt CO2e in Other small states, a difference of 8.14 Mt CO2e.
That makes Libya's figure about 1.5 times Other small states's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Other small states ahead.
Libya ranks 43rd and Other small states ranks 43rd of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Libya averaged higher in 1 and Other small states in 5.

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).
