Sudan vs Togo: CO2 emissions from cement production
CO2 emissions from cement production over time
- Sudan
- Togo
How they compare
Sudan currently reports 498.71 thousand metric tons against 399.7 thousand metric tons in Togo, a difference of 99.01 thousand metric tons.
That makes Sudan's figure about 1.2 times Togo's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 50 shared years of data; in 1960 it was Sudan ahead.
Sudan ranks 15th and Togo ranks 17th of 51 countries.
Across the 5 decades both report, Sudan averaged higher in 2 and Togo in 3.

About this data
Carbon dioxide emissions from cement production refer mainly to emissions during cement production. Cement production is a multi-step process and CO2 is actually released from klinker production during the cement production process. The U.S. Department of Energy’s carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC) calculates annual anthropogenic emissions from data on fossil fuel consumption (from the United Nations Statistics Division’s World Energy Data Set) and world cement manufacturing (from the U.S. Bureau of Mine’s Cement Manufacturing Data Set). Carbon dioxide emissions, often calculated and reported as elemental carbon, were converted to actual carbon dioxide mass by multiplying them by 3.664 (the ratio of the mass of carbon to that of carbon dioxide). Although estimates of global carbon dioxide emissions are probably accurate within 10 percent (as calculated from global average file chemistry and use), country estimates may have larger error bounds. Trends estimated from a consistent time series tend to be more accurate than individual values. Each year the CDIAC recalculates the entire time series since 1949, incorporating recent findings and corrections. Estimates exclude fuels supplied to ships and aircraft in international transport because of the difficulty of apportioning he fuels among benefitting countries. The ratio of carbon dioxide per unit of energy shows carbon intensity, which is the amount of carbon dioxide emitted as a result of using one unit of energy in the process of production.
