Germany vs IDA total: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Waste
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Waste over time
- Germany
- IDA total
How they compare
IDA total currently reports 0.1326 Mt CO2e against 0.0309 Mt CO2e in Germany, a difference of 0.1017 Mt CO2e.
That makes IDA total's figure about 4.3 times Germany's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 54 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Germany ahead.
Germany ranks 22nd and IDA total ranks 25th of 100 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Germany averaged higher in 5 and IDA total in 1.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the waste sector. This includes emissions from solid waste (IPCC 2006 codes 4.A Solid Waste Disposal, 4.B Biological Treatment of Solid Waste, 4.C Incineration and Open Burning of Waste) and wastewater treatment (IPCC 2006 code 4.D Wastewater Treatment and Discharge). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
