- Kuwait
- Viet Nam
How they compare
Kuwait currently reports 27.12 Mt CO2e against 23.41 Mt CO2e in Viet Nam, a difference of 3.71 Mt CO2e.
That makes Kuwait's figure about 1.2 times Viet Nam's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Kuwait ahead.
Kuwait ranks 19th and Viet Nam ranks 21st of 192 countries.
Kuwait has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Kuwait | Viet Nam | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 33.54 Mt CO2e | 2.64 Mt CO2e | 30.9 Mt CO2e | Kuwait |
| 1980s | 17.39 Mt CO2e | 3.64 Mt CO2e | 13.75 Mt CO2e | Kuwait |
| 1990s | 21.3 Mt CO2e | 8.69 Mt CO2e | 12.61 Mt CO2e | Kuwait |
| 2000s | 28.87 Mt CO2e | 17.95 Mt CO2e | 10.92 Mt CO2e | Kuwait |
| 2010s | 29.99 Mt CO2e | 23.28 Mt CO2e | 6.7 Mt CO2e | Kuwait |

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from fugitive emissions (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.1.bc Petroleum Refining - Manufacture of Solid Fuels and Other Energy Industries, 1.B.1 Solid Fuels, 1.B.2 Oil and Natural Gas, 5.B. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
