Methane (CH4) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- Ethiopia
- United States
How they compare
Ethiopia currently reports 12.61 Mt CO2e against 9.47 Mt CO2e in United States, a difference of 3.14 Mt CO2e.
That makes Ethiopia's figure about 1.3 times United States's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was United States ahead.
Ethiopia ranks 3rd and United States ranks 4th of 197 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Ethiopia averaged higher in 3 and United States in 3.

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).
