- Germany
- Saudi Arabia
How they compare
Saudi Arabia currently reports 652.51 Mt CO2e against 579.94 Mt CO2e in Germany, a difference of 72.57 Mt CO2e.
That makes Saudi Arabia's figure about 1.1 times Germany's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Germany ahead.
Germany ranks 10th and Saudi Arabia ranks 8th of 203 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 agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
