Guinea vs Sierra Leone: Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Guinea
- Sierra Leone
How they compare
Sierra Leone currently reports 1.45 Mt CO2e against 1.34 Mt CO2e in Guinea, a difference of 0.11 Mt CO2e.
That makes Sierra Leone's figure about 1.1 times Guinea's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Guinea ahead.
Guinea ranks 90th and Sierra Leone ranks 87th of 192 countries.
Sierra Leone 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).
