Argentina vs Congo: Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Argentina
- Congo
How they compare
Congo currently reports 13.3 Mt CO2e against 12.58 Mt CO2e in Argentina, a difference of 0.72 Mt CO2e.
That makes Congo's figure about 1.1 times Argentina's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Argentina ahead.
Argentina ranks 35th and Congo ranks 33rd of 192 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Argentina averaged higher in 3 and Congo in 3.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Argentina | Congo | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 8.32 Mt CO2e | 1.56 Mt CO2e | 6.76 Mt CO2e | Argentina |
| 1980s | 9.2 Mt CO2e | 5.18 Mt CO2e | 4.02 Mt CO2e | Argentina |
| 1990s | 12.03 Mt CO2e | 9.73 Mt CO2e | 2.3 Mt CO2e | Argentina |
| 2000s | 12.29 Mt CO2e | 12.92 Mt CO2e | 0.6314 Mt CO2e | Congo |
| 2010s | 10.9 Mt CO2e | 13.71 Mt CO2e | 2.8 Mt CO2e | Congo |
| 2020s | 11.39 Mt CO2e | 13.83 Mt CO2e | 2.44 Mt CO2e | Congo |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

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).
