Ecuador vs Uganda: Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Ecuador
- Uganda
How they compare
Uganda currently reports 9.27 Mt CO2e against 8.77 Mt CO2e in Ecuador, a difference of 0.5 Mt CO2e.
That makes Uganda'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 Uganda ahead.
Ecuador ranks 46th and Uganda ranks 45th of 192 countries.
Ecuador has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Ecuador | Uganda | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 2.69 Mt CO2e | 1.28 Mt CO2e | 1.42 Mt CO2e | Ecuador |
| 1980s | 4.69 Mt CO2e | 1.73 Mt CO2e | 2.97 Mt CO2e | Ecuador |
| 1990s | 6.8 Mt CO2e | 2.09 Mt CO2e | 4.7 Mt CO2e | Ecuador |
| 2000s | 7.38 Mt CO2e | 2.67 Mt CO2e | 4.71 Mt CO2e | Ecuador |
| 2010s | 9.75 Mt CO2e | 4.71 Mt CO2e | 5.04 Mt CO2e | Ecuador |
| 2020s | 8.84 Mt CO2e | 8.77 Mt CO2e | 0.0647 Mt CO2e | Ecuador |
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).
