- Indonesia
- United States
How they compare
United States currently reports 418.87 Mt CO2e against 283.2 Mt CO2e in Indonesia, a difference of 135.67 Mt CO2e.
That makes United States's figure about 1.5 times Indonesia's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, United States has been ahead every year.
Indonesia ranks 3rd and United States ranks 2nd of 192 countries.
United States has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by 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).
