Algeria vs Nigeria: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Algeria
- Nigeria
How they compare
Nigeria currently reports 60.44 Mt CO2e against 48.64 Mt CO2e in Algeria, a difference of 11.8 Mt CO2e.
That makes Nigeria's figure about 1.2 times Algeria's.
The two have swapped places 8 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Nigeria ahead.
Algeria ranks 26th and Nigeria ranks 23rd of 194 countries.
Nigeria has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Algeria | Nigeria | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 3.74 Mt CO2e | 6.33 Mt CO2e | 2.59 Mt CO2e | Nigeria |
| 1980s | 9.91 Mt CO2e | 14.05 Mt CO2e | 4.14 Mt CO2e | Nigeria |
| 1990s | 15.9 Mt CO2e | 16.65 Mt CO2e | 0.7477 Mt CO2e | Nigeria |
| 2000s | 23.41 Mt CO2e | 25.79 Mt CO2e | 2.38 Mt CO2e | Nigeria |
| 2010s | 41.42 Mt CO2e | 45.18 Mt CO2e | 3.76 Mt CO2e | Nigeria |
| 2020s | 44.77 Mt CO2e | 57.43 Mt CO2e | 12.66 Mt CO2e | Nigeria |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

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).
