Greenhouse gas emissions: Regions GHG emissions from power over time
- Bulgaria
- France
How they compare
France currently reports 26.22 million Tonnes of CO2-equivalent against 17.08 million Tonnes of CO2-equivalent in Bulgaria, a difference of 9.14 million Tonnes of CO2-equivalent.
That makes France's figure about 1.5 times Bulgaria's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 54 shared years of data; in 1970 it was France ahead.
Bulgaria ranks 22nd and France ranks 20th of 47 countries.
France has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

About this data
This dataset provides indicators on greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in large (TL2) and small (TL3) regions. Data definition and source GHG are estimated by sector of origin at the subnational level using the Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR) (Joint Research Centre). See the methodology. Definition of regions Regions are subnational units below national boundaries. OECD countries have two regional levels: large regions (territorial level 2 or TL2) and small regions (territorial level 3 or TL3). For more information, see the OECD Territorial grid (pdf) and the OECD Territorial Correspondence Table (xlsx). Cite this dataset OECD Regions, Cities and Local Areas database http://oe.cd/geostats.
