- Iraq
- Venezuela
How they compare
Venezuela currently reports 0.0155 Mt CO2e against 0.0141 Mt CO2e in Iraq, a difference of 0.0014 Mt CO2e.
That makes Venezuela's figure about 1.1 times Iraq's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Venezuela ahead.
Iraq ranks 70th and Venezuela ranks 68th of 193 countries.
Venezuela has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

About this data
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).
