France vs Nepal: Methane (CH4) emissions from Building (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- France
- Nepal
How they compare
Nepal currently reports 3.21 Mt CO2e against 2.45 Mt CO2e in France, a difference of 0.76 Mt CO2e.
That makes Nepal's figure about 1.3 times France's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was France ahead.
France ranks 18th and Nepal ranks 15th of 197 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, France averaged higher in 3 and Nepal 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).
