Ethiopia vs Least developed countries: Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Ethiopia
- Least developed countries
How they compare
Least developed countries currently reports 142.65 Mt CO2e against 18.3 Mt CO2e in Ethiopia, a difference of 124.35 Mt CO2e.
That makes Least developed countries's figure about 7.8 times Ethiopia's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Least developed countries has been ahead every year.
Ethiopia ranks 28th and Least developed countries ranks 31st of 192 countries.
Least developed countries has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
