French Polynesia vs Samoa: Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- French Polynesia
- Samoa
How they compare
Samoa currently reports 0.0018 Mt CO2e against 0.0016 Mt CO2e in French Polynesia, a difference of 0.0002 Mt CO2e.
That makes Samoa's figure about 1.1 times French Polynesia's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Samoa ahead.
French Polynesia ranks 177th and Samoa ranks 175th of 192 countries.
Samoa has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | French Polynesia | Samoa | Difference | Ahead |

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).
