Australia vs Nigeria: F-gases emissions from Industrial Processes
F-gases emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Australia
- Nigeria
How they compare
Nigeria currently reports 14.55 Mt CO2e against 12.67 Mt CO2e in Australia, a difference of 1.88 Mt CO2e.
That makes Nigeria's figure about 1.1 times Australia's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 35 shared years of data; in 1990 it was Australia ahead.
Australia ranks 21st and Nigeria ranks 19th of 154 countries.
Across the 4 decades both report, Australia averaged higher in 3 and Nigeria in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Australia | Nigeria | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 4.83 Mt CO2e | 0.3451 Mt CO2e | 4.49 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 2000s | 5.85 Mt CO2e | 3.66 Mt CO2e | 2.19 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 2010s | 9.25 Mt CO2e | 6.72 Mt CO2e | 2.54 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 2020s | 11.94 Mt CO2e | 12.71 Mt CO2e | 0.7672 Mt CO2e | Nigeria |

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of fluorinated gases (hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6)), from industrial processes including IPCC 2006 codes 2.B Chemical Industry, 2.C Metal Industry, 2.E Electronics Industry, 2.F Product Uses as Substitutes for Ozone Depleting Substances, 2.G Other Product Manufacture and Use The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
