Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Algeria
- Iraq
How they compare
Algeria currently reports 48.64 Mt CO2e against 44.79 Mt CO2e in Iraq, a difference of 3.85 Mt CO2e.
That makes Algeria's figure about 1.1 times Iraq's.
The two have swapped places 6 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Algeria ahead.
Algeria ranks 26th and Iraq ranks 29th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Algeria averaged higher in 2 and Iraq in 4.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the transportation sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.3.a Civil Aviation, 1.A.3.b_noRES Road Transportation no resuspension, 1.A.3.c Railways, 1.A.3.d Water-borne Navigation, 1.A.3.e Other Transportation. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
