Methodology: For countries with missing data, values were imputed based on regression model predicting CO2IND using CO2_GDP (CO2 emissions per GDP). Industrial GDP were calculated based on the percentage of GDP from industry, and total GDP. IAE industrial CO2 emissions were divided by industrial GDP to create the indicator.
