- Burkina Faso
- European Union
How they compare
European Union currently reports 18.54 Mt CO2e against 1.67 Mt CO2e in Burkina Faso, a difference of 16.87 Mt CO2e.
That makes European Union's figure about 11.1 times Burkina Faso's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, European Union has been ahead every year.
Burkina Faso ranks 31st and European Union ranks 31st of 197 countries.
European Union 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).
