Methane (CH4) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- Bhutan
- Laos
How they compare
Laos currently reports 0.5411 Mt CO2e against 0.4778 Mt CO2e in Bhutan, a difference of 0.0633 Mt CO2e.
That makes Laos's figure about 1.1 times Bhutan's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Laos ahead.
Bhutan ranks 69th and Laos ranks 67th of 197 countries.
Laos has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the building sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.4 Residential and other sectors, 1.A.5 Non-Specified. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
