Africa vs Australia and New Zealand: Energy Use (Pre- and Post-Production) — Emissions
Energy Use (Pre- and Post-Production) — Emissions over time
- Africa
- Australia and New Zealand
How they compare
Africa currently reports 185,252 kt against 49,264 kt in Australia and New Zealand, a difference of 135,988 kt.
That makes Africa's figure about 3.8 times Australia and New Zealand's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 34 shared years of data; in 1990 it was Australia and New Zealand ahead.
Africa ranks 16th and Australia and New Zealand ranks 13th of 33 groups.
Africa has averaged higher in every one of the 4 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Africa | Australia and New Zealand | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 48,869 kt | 41,316 kt | 7,553 kt | Africa |
| 2000s | 85,649 kt | 50,180 kt | 35,469 kt | Africa |
| 2010s | 148,697 kt | 50,260 kt | 98,437 kt | Africa |
| 2020s | 180,522 kt | 49,814 kt | 130,708 kt | Africa |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions from Pre- and post- agricultural production includes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and related activity data, generated from pre- and post-agriculture production stages of the agri-food systems. Data are computed following the Tier 1 methods of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014). The domain includes methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and CO2 equivalent (CO2eq) emissions from the above activities as well as the aggregate fluorinated gases (F-gases) emissions. Estimates are available by country, with global coverage and are updated annually.The FAOSTAT domain disseminates information estimates of CH4, N2O, CO2 emissions, F-gases, their aggregates in CO2eq in units of kilotonnes (kt, or 10^6 kg), and the underlying activity data. CO2eq emissions are computed by using the IPCC Fifth Assessment report global warming potentials, AR5 (IPCC, 2014). Data are available for most countries and territories, for standard FAOSTAT regional aggregations, and for Annex I and non-Annex I country groups.
