Congo vs Pakistan: Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Congo
- Pakistan
How they compare
Congo currently reports 13.3 Mt CO2e against 12.41 Mt CO2e in Pakistan, a difference of 0.89 Mt CO2e.
That makes Congo's figure about 1.1 times Pakistan's.
The two have swapped places 11 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Pakistan ahead.
Congo ranks 33rd and Pakistan ranks 36th of 192 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Congo averaged higher in 4 and Pakistan in 2.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Congo | Pakistan | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 1.56 Mt CO2e | 2.36 Mt CO2e | 0.8012 Mt CO2e | Pakistan |
| 1980s | 5.18 Mt CO2e | 5.45 Mt CO2e | 0.2712 Mt CO2e | Pakistan |
| 1990s | 9.73 Mt CO2e | 9.6 Mt CO2e | 0.1357 Mt CO2e | Congo |
| 2000s | 12.92 Mt CO2e | 12.44 Mt CO2e | 0.4859 Mt CO2e | Congo |
| 2010s | 13.71 Mt CO2e | 12.8 Mt CO2e | 0.9092 Mt CO2e | Congo |
| 2020s | 13.83 Mt CO2e | 12.69 Mt CO2e | 1.14 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).
