- Ghana
- Thailand
How they compare
Ghana currently reports 7.72 Mt CO2e against 6.5 Mt CO2e in Thailand, a difference of 1.22 Mt CO2e.
That makes Ghana's figure about 1.2 times Thailand's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Thailand ahead.
Ghana ranks 50th and Thailand ranks 53rd of 192 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Ghana averaged higher in 1 and Thailand in 5.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Ghana | Thailand | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.6776 Mt CO2e | 8.38 Mt CO2e | 7.71 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
| 1980s | 0.9322 Mt CO2e | 9.98 Mt CO2e | 9.05 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
| 1990s | 1.44 Mt CO2e | 13.61 Mt CO2e | 12.17 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
| 2000s | 2.71 Mt CO2e | 14.81 Mt CO2e | 12.09 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
| 2010s | 6.69 Mt CO2e | 14.95 Mt CO2e | 8.26 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
| 2020s | 7.79 Mt CO2e | 6.71 Mt CO2e | 1.08 Mt CO2e | Ghana |

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).
