Congo vs Turkmenistan: Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Congo
- Turkmenistan
How they compare
Turkmenistan currently reports 14.93 Mt CO2e against 13.3 Mt CO2e in Congo, a difference of 1.63 Mt CO2e.
That makes Turkmenistan's figure about 1.1 times Congo's.
The two have swapped places 8 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Turkmenistan ahead.
Congo ranks 33rd and Turkmenistan ranks 30th of 192 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Congo averaged higher in 1 and Turkmenistan in 5.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Congo | Turkmenistan | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 1.56 Mt CO2e | 5.46 Mt CO2e | 3.9 Mt CO2e | Turkmenistan |
| 1980s | 5.18 Mt CO2e | 7.43 Mt CO2e | 2.24 Mt CO2e | Turkmenistan |
| 1990s | 9.73 Mt CO2e | 7.41 Mt CO2e | 2.32 Mt CO2e | Congo |
| 2000s | 12.92 Mt CO2e | 14.06 Mt CO2e | 1.13 Mt CO2e | Turkmenistan |
| 2010s | 13.71 Mt CO2e | 15.64 Mt CO2e | 1.93 Mt CO2e | Turkmenistan |
| 2020s | 13.83 Mt CO2e | 15.02 Mt CO2e | 1.19 Mt CO2e | Turkmenistan |
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).
