Methane (CH4) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- Saudi Arabia
- Yemen
How they compare
Yemen currently reports 0.0196 Mt CO2e against 0.0153 Mt CO2e in Saudi Arabia, a difference of 0.0043 Mt CO2e.
That makes Yemen's figure about 1.3 times Saudi Arabia's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Yemen ahead.
Saudi Arabia ranks 147th and Yemen ranks 145th of 197 countries.
Yemen 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).
