Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Belgium
- Romania
How they compare
Belgium currently reports 2.68 Mt CO2e against 2.52 Mt CO2e in Romania, a difference of 0.16 Mt CO2e.
That makes Belgium's figure about 1.1 times Romania's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Romania ahead.
Belgium ranks 68th and Romania ranks 70th of 192 countries.
Romania 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 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).
