- Iraq
- Libya
How they compare
Libya currently reports 5.33 Mt CO2e against 4.51 Mt CO2e in Iraq, a difference of 0.82 Mt CO2e.
That makes Libya's figure about 1.2 times Iraq's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 35 shared years of data; in 1990 it was Libya ahead.
Iraq ranks 38th and Libya ranks 36th of 154 countries.
Across the 4 decades both report, Iraq averaged higher in 1 and Libya in 3.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Iraq | Libya | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 0.274 Mt CO2e | 0.2536 Mt CO2e | 0.0204 Mt CO2e | Iraq |
| 2000s | 1.15 Mt CO2e | 1.39 Mt CO2e | 0.244 Mt CO2e | Libya |
| 2010s | 2.07 Mt CO2e | 2.55 Mt CO2e | 0.4789 Mt CO2e | Libya |
| 2020s | 3.94 Mt CO2e | 4.67 Mt CO2e | 0.7352 Mt CO2e | Libya |

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).
