If these were metrics for your startup I’d call them vanity metrics. You just used data to explain that the US captures higher margins on their products and China does a lot of low margin or commodity production.

The data doesn’t help us inform an opinion of whose carbon use is better than others.

Huh? Money is fungible so higher margin generation of CO2 is better.

Whatever profit you captured can be spent on whatever.
