Kenya vs Uganda: Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Kenya
- Uganda
How they compare
Uganda currently reports 9.27 Mt CO2e against 7.97 Mt CO2e in Kenya, a difference of 1.3 Mt CO2e.
That makes Uganda's figure about 1.2 times Kenya's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Kenya ahead.
Kenya ranks 48th and Uganda ranks 45th of 192 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Kenya averaged higher in 5 and Uganda in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Kenya | Uganda | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 2.47 Mt CO2e | 1.28 Mt CO2e | 1.19 Mt CO2e | Kenya |
| 1980s | 3.19 Mt CO2e | 1.73 Mt CO2e | 1.47 Mt CO2e | Kenya |
| 1990s | 4.2 Mt CO2e | 2.09 Mt CO2e | 2.11 Mt CO2e | Kenya |
| 2000s | 5.61 Mt CO2e | 2.67 Mt CO2e | 2.94 Mt CO2e | Kenya |
| 2010s | 7.27 Mt CO2e | 4.71 Mt CO2e | 2.56 Mt CO2e | Kenya |
| 2020s | 7.79 Mt CO2e | 8.77 Mt CO2e | 0.9782 Mt CO2e | Uganda |
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).
