Nigeria vs Poland: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Nigeria
- Poland
How they compare
Poland currently reports 68.61 Mt CO2e against 60.44 Mt CO2e in Nigeria, a difference of 8.17 Mt CO2e.
That makes Poland's figure about 1.1 times Nigeria's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Poland ahead.
Nigeria ranks 23rd and Poland ranks 21st of 194 countries.
Poland has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Nigeria | Poland | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 6.33 Mt CO2e | 29.78 Mt CO2e | 23.45 Mt CO2e | Poland |
| 1980s | 14.05 Mt CO2e | 25.05 Mt CO2e | 11 Mt CO2e | Poland |
| 1990s | 16.65 Mt CO2e | 23.84 Mt CO2e | 7.19 Mt CO2e | Poland |
| 2000s | 25.79 Mt CO2e | 34.41 Mt CO2e | 8.62 Mt CO2e | Poland |
| 2010s | 45.18 Mt CO2e | 51.68 Mt CO2e | 6.5 Mt CO2e | Poland |
| 2020s | 57.43 Mt CO2e | 66.27 Mt CO2e | 8.85 Mt CO2e | Poland |
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).
