France vs Thailand: Methane (CH4) emissions from Agriculture
Methane (CH4) emissions from Agriculture over time
- France
- Thailand
How they compare
Thailand currently reports 45.93 Mt CO2e against 42.25 Mt CO2e in France, a difference of 3.68 Mt CO2e.
That makes Thailand's figure about 1.1 times France's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was France ahead.
France ranks 24th and Thailand ranks 21st of 201 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, France averaged higher in 5 and Thailand 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).
