Togo vs Uganda: CO2 emissions from cement production
CO2 emissions from cement production over time
- Togo
- Uganda
How they compare
Togo currently reports 399.7 thousand metric tons against 322.7 thousand metric tons in Uganda, a difference of 77 thousand metric tons.
That makes Togo's figure about 1.2 times Uganda's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 50 shared years of data; in 1960 it was Uganda ahead.
Togo ranks 17th and Uganda ranks 18th of 51 countries.
Across the 5 decades both report, Togo averaged higher in 3 and Uganda in 2.

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.
