Afghanistan vs Benin: Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Afghanistan
- Benin
How they compare
Benin currently reports 1.72 Mt CO2e against 1.5 Mt CO2e in Afghanistan, a difference of 0.22 Mt CO2e.
That makes Benin's figure about 1.1 times Afghanistan's.
The two have swapped places 6 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Benin ahead.
Afghanistan ranks 86th and Benin ranks 83rd of 192 countries.
Benin has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Afghanistan | Benin | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.2948 Mt CO2e | 0.3323 Mt CO2e | 0.0375 Mt CO2e | Benin |
| 1980s | 0.3419 Mt CO2e | 0.45 Mt CO2e | 0.1081 Mt CO2e | Benin |
| 1990s | 0.2928 Mt CO2e | 0.4277 Mt CO2e | 0.1349 Mt CO2e | Benin |
| 2000s | 0.462 Mt CO2e | 0.5585 Mt CO2e | 0.0966 Mt CO2e | Benin |
| 2010s | 1.3 Mt CO2e | 1.34 Mt CO2e | 0.0318 Mt CO2e | Benin |

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from fugitive emissions (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.1.bc Petroleum Refining - Manufacture of Solid Fuels and Other Energy Industries, 1.B.1 Solid Fuels, 1.B.2 Oil and Natural Gas, 5.B. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
