Bhutan vs Nepal: Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Bhutan
- Nepal
How they compare
Nepal currently reports 0.0608 Mt CO2e against 0.0323 Mt CO2e in Bhutan, a difference of 0.0285 Mt CO2e.
That makes Nepal's figure about 1.9 times Bhutan's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Nepal ahead.
Bhutan ranks 152nd and Nepal ranks 149th of 192 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Bhutan averaged higher in 1 and Nepal in 5.

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).
