Guyana vs Libya: Methane (CH4) emissions from Agriculture
Methane (CH4) emissions from Agriculture over time
- Guyana
- Libya
How they compare
Libya currently reports 1.92 Mt CO2e against 1.62 Mt CO2e in Guyana, a difference of 0.3 Mt CO2e.
That makes Libya's figure about 1.2 times Guyana's.
The two have swapped places 7 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Guyana ahead.
Guyana ranks 121st and Libya ranks 118th of 201 countries.
Libya has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Guyana | Libya | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.969 Mt CO2e | 1.05 Mt CO2e | 0.0805 Mt CO2e | Libya |
| 1980s | 0.7624 Mt CO2e | 1.38 Mt CO2e | 0.6211 Mt CO2e | Libya |
| 1990s | 1.02 Mt CO2e | 1.32 Mt CO2e | 0.3021 Mt CO2e | Libya |
| 2000s | 1.01 Mt CO2e | 1.41 Mt CO2e | 0.3948 Mt CO2e | Libya |
| 2010s | 1.4 Mt CO2e | 1.84 Mt CO2e | 0.436 Mt CO2e | Libya |
| 2020s | 1.47 Mt CO2e | 1.9 Mt CO2e | 0.432 Mt CO2e | Libya |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

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).
