Methane (CH4) emissions from Agriculture over time
- Bangladesh
- Nigeria
How they compare
Nigeria currently reports 56.75 Mt CO2e against 47.41 Mt CO2e in Bangladesh, a difference of 9.34 Mt CO2e.
That makes Nigeria's figure about 1.2 times Bangladesh's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Bangladesh ahead.
Bangladesh ranks 19th and Nigeria ranks 17th of 201 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Bangladesh averaged higher in 5 and Nigeria in 1.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agricultural sector. This includes emissions from livestock (IPCC 2006 codes 3.A.1 (enteric fermentation, 3.a.2 (manure management) and crops (IPCC 2006 codes 3.C.1 Emissions from biomass burning, 3.C.7 Rice cultivations). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
