Kenya vs Sudan: Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Kenya
- Sudan
How they compare
Kenya currently reports 7.97 Mt CO2e against 7.52 Mt CO2e in Sudan, a difference of 0.45 Mt CO2e.
That makes Kenya's figure about 1.1 times Sudan's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Sudan ahead.
Kenya ranks 48th and Sudan ranks 51st of 192 countries.
Sudan has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Kenya | Sudan | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 2.47 Mt CO2e | 4.51 Mt CO2e | 2.04 Mt CO2e | Sudan |
| 1980s | 3.19 Mt CO2e | 5.28 Mt CO2e | 2.09 Mt CO2e | Sudan |
| 1990s | 4.2 Mt CO2e | 6.25 Mt CO2e | 2.05 Mt CO2e | Sudan |
| 2000s | 5.61 Mt CO2e | 8.98 Mt CO2e | 3.37 Mt CO2e | Sudan |
| 2010s | 7.27 Mt CO2e | 7.95 Mt CO2e | 0.6741 Mt CO2e | Sudan |
| 2020s | 7.79 Mt CO2e | 7.97 Mt CO2e | 0.1733 Mt CO2e | Sudan |
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).
