Nigeria vs Thailand: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Nigeria
- Thailand
How they compare
Thailand currently reports 83.17 Mt CO2e against 60.44 Mt CO2e in Nigeria, a difference of 22.73 Mt CO2e.
That makes Thailand's figure about 1.4 times Nigeria's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Thailand ahead.
Nigeria ranks 23rd and Thailand ranks 20th of 194 countries.
Thailand has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Nigeria | Thailand | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 6.33 Mt CO2e | 7.72 Mt CO2e | 1.39 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
| 1980s | 14.05 Mt CO2e | 14.96 Mt CO2e | 0.9068 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
| 1990s | 16.65 Mt CO2e | 40.57 Mt CO2e | 23.92 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
| 2000s | 25.79 Mt CO2e | 52.05 Mt CO2e | 26.26 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
| 2010s | 45.18 Mt CO2e | 63.82 Mt CO2e | 18.64 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
| 2020s | 57.43 Mt CO2e | 76.37 Mt CO2e | 18.94 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
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).
