How they compare

IBRD only currently reports 14.19 Mt CO2e against 3.9 Mt CO2e in China, a difference of 10.29 Mt CO2e.

That makes IBRD only's figure about 3.6 times China's.

Across all 55 years both countries report, IBRD only has been ahead every year.

China ranks 2nd and IBRD only ranks 5th of 193 countries.

IBRD only has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

Head to head by decade

Decade China IBRD only Difference Ahead
1970s 1.28 Mt CO2e 4.4 Mt CO2e 3.12 Mt CO2e IBRD only
1980s 1.82 Mt CO2e 6.05 Mt CO2e 4.23 Mt CO2e IBRD only
1990s 2.36 Mt CO2e 7.11 Mt CO2e 4.75 Mt CO2e IBRD only
2000s 3.87 Mt CO2e 9.9 Mt CO2e 6.03 Mt CO2e IBRD only
2010s 5.91 Mt CO2e 13.78 Mt CO2e 7.88 Mt CO2e IBRD only
2020s 4 Mt CO2e 13.65 Mt CO2e 9.64 Mt CO2e IBRD only

Averages of every year both report within each decade.

A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from industrial combustion (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.2 Manufacturing Industries and Construction. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
