Ireland vs Kenya: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Ireland
- Kenya
How they compare
Ireland currently reports 11.41 Mt CO2e against 10.38 Mt CO2e in Kenya, a difference of 1.03 Mt CO2e.
That makes Ireland's figure about 1.1 times Kenya's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Ireland ahead.
Ireland ranks 63rd and Kenya ranks 66th of 194 countries.
Ireland 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 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).
