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.

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).
