Germany vs Singapore: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Waste
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Waste over time
- Germany
- Singapore
How they compare
Singapore currently reports 0.0422 Mt CO2e against 0.0309 Mt CO2e in Germany, a difference of 0.0113 Mt CO2e.
That makes Singapore's figure about 1.4 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 Singapore ranks 20th of 100 countries.
Germany 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 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).
