Cameroon vs Ecuador: Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Cameroon
- Ecuador
How they compare
Ecuador currently reports 8.77 Mt CO2e against 7.73 Mt CO2e in Cameroon, a difference of 1.04 Mt CO2e.
That makes Ecuador's figure about 1.1 times Cameroon's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Cameroon ahead.
Cameroon ranks 49th and Ecuador ranks 46th of 192 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Cameroon averaged higher in 3 and Ecuador in 3.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Cameroon | Ecuador | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.4839 Mt CO2e | 2.69 Mt CO2e | 2.21 Mt CO2e | Ecuador |
| 1980s | 10.5 Mt CO2e | 4.69 Mt CO2e | 5.81 Mt CO2e | Cameroon |
| 1990s | 9.89 Mt CO2e | 6.8 Mt CO2e | 3.1 Mt CO2e | Cameroon |
| 2000s | 8.1 Mt CO2e | 7.38 Mt CO2e | 0.7191 Mt CO2e | Cameroon |
| 2010s | 8.33 Mt CO2e | 9.75 Mt CO2e | 1.42 Mt CO2e | Ecuador |
| 2020s | 8.06 Mt CO2e | 8.84 Mt CO2e | 0.7765 Mt CO2e | Ecuador |

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).
