Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Egypt
- Qatar
How they compare
Egypt currently reports 20.66 Mt CO2e against 19.01 Mt CO2e in Qatar, a difference of 1.65 Mt CO2e.
That makes Egypt's figure about 1.1 times Qatar's.
The two have swapped places 6 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Egypt ahead.
Egypt ranks 25th and Qatar ranks 27th of 192 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Egypt averaged higher in 5 and Qatar in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Egypt | Qatar | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 9.45 Mt CO2e | 9.74 Mt CO2e | 0.2902 Mt CO2e | Qatar |
| 1980s | 19.41 Mt CO2e | 7.4 Mt CO2e | 12.01 Mt CO2e | Egypt |
| 1990s | 24.72 Mt CO2e | 13.06 Mt CO2e | 11.66 Mt CO2e | Egypt |
| 2000s | 23.07 Mt CO2e | 21.78 Mt CO2e | 1.3 Mt CO2e | Egypt |
| 2010s | 21.34 Mt CO2e | 19.41 Mt CO2e | 1.93 Mt CO2e | Egypt |
| 2020s | 20.96 Mt CO2e | 18.5 Mt CO2e | 2.46 Mt CO2e | Egypt |
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).
