Mexico vs Russia: Methane (CH4) emissions from Building (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- Mexico
- Russia
How they compare
Mexico currently reports 2.11 Mt CO2e against 1.96 Mt CO2e in Russia, a difference of 0.15 Mt CO2e.
That makes Mexico's figure about 1.1 times Russia's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Russia ahead.
Mexico ranks 23rd and Russia ranks 26th of 197 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Mexico averaged higher in 2 and Russia in 4.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Mexico | Russia | Difference | Ahead |

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).
