Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Kenya
- Other small states
How they compare
Kenya currently reports 7.97 Mt CO2e against 2.5 Mt CO2e in Other small states, a difference of 5.47 Mt CO2e.
That makes Kenya's figure about 3.2 times Other small states's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Kenya has been ahead every year.
Kenya ranks 48th and Other small states ranks 44th of 192 countries.
Kenya has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Kenya | Other small states | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 2.47 Mt CO2e | 1.34 Mt CO2e | 1.13 Mt CO2e | Kenya |
| 1980s | 3.19 Mt CO2e | 1.64 Mt CO2e | 1.55 Mt CO2e | Kenya |
| 1990s | 4.2 Mt CO2e | 1.9 Mt CO2e | 2.3 Mt CO2e | Kenya |
| 2000s | 5.61 Mt CO2e | 3.51 Mt CO2e | 2.1 Mt CO2e | Kenya |
| 2010s | 7.27 Mt CO2e | 3.36 Mt CO2e | 3.91 Mt CO2e | Kenya |
| 2020s | 7.79 Mt CO2e | 2.59 Mt CO2e | 5.2 Mt CO2e | Kenya |
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).
