Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Canada
- Nigeria
How they compare
Nigeria currently reports 75.63 Mt CO2e against 71.72 Mt CO2e in Canada, a difference of 3.91 Mt CO2e.
That makes Nigeria's figure about 1.1 times Canada's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Nigeria has been ahead every year.
Canada ranks 9th and Nigeria ranks 8th of 192 countries.
Nigeria 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).
