Ecuador vs Malaysia: Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Ecuador
- Malaysia
How they compare
Malaysia currently reports 9.39 Mt CO2e against 8.77 Mt CO2e in Ecuador, a difference of 0.62 Mt CO2e.
That makes Malaysia's figure about 1.1 times Ecuador's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Malaysia ahead.
Ecuador ranks 46th and Malaysia ranks 44th of 192 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Ecuador averaged higher in 1 and Malaysia in 5.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Ecuador | Malaysia | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 2.69 Mt CO2e | 2.66 Mt CO2e | 0.0312 Mt CO2e | Ecuador |
| 1980s | 4.69 Mt CO2e | 6.75 Mt CO2e | 2.05 Mt CO2e | Malaysia |
| 1990s | 6.8 Mt CO2e | 10.47 Mt CO2e | 3.68 Mt CO2e | Malaysia |
| 2000s | 7.38 Mt CO2e | 13.08 Mt CO2e | 5.69 Mt CO2e | Malaysia |
| 2010s | 9.75 Mt CO2e | 11.3 Mt CO2e | 1.55 Mt CO2e | Malaysia |
| 2020s | 8.84 Mt CO2e | 9.67 Mt CO2e | 0.8396 Mt CO2e | Malaysia |
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).
