Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Indonesia
- Iraq
How they compare
Indonesia currently reports 283.2 Mt CO2e against 145.34 Mt CO2e in Iraq, a difference of 137.86 Mt CO2e.
That makes Indonesia's figure about 1.9 times Iraq's.
The two have swapped places 7 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Iraq ahead.
Indonesia ranks 3rd and Iraq ranks 5th of 192 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Indonesia averaged higher in 4 and Iraq in 2.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Indonesia | Iraq | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 36.91 Mt CO2e | 90.13 Mt CO2e | 53.22 Mt CO2e | Iraq |
| 1980s | 41.32 Mt CO2e | 75.94 Mt CO2e | 34.62 Mt CO2e | Iraq |
| 1990s | 60.34 Mt CO2e | 37.45 Mt CO2e | 22.89 Mt CO2e | Indonesia |
| 2000s | 70.66 Mt CO2e | 63.24 Mt CO2e | 7.42 Mt CO2e | Indonesia |
| 2010s | 154.85 Mt CO2e | 120.16 Mt CO2e | 34.69 Mt CO2e | Indonesia |
| 2020s | 236.98 Mt CO2e | 142.33 Mt CO2e | 94.66 Mt CO2e | Indonesia |
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).
