- Germany
- Poland
How they compare
Poland currently reports 3.31 Mt CO2e against 2.87 Mt CO2e in Germany, a difference of 0.44 Mt CO2e.
That makes Poland's figure about 1.2 times Germany's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Germany ahead.
Germany ranks 16th and Poland ranks 14th of 197 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Germany averaged higher in 2 and Poland in 4.

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).
