North Korea vs Mexico: Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- North Korea
- Mexico
How they compare
Mexico currently reports 11.8 Mt CO2e against 10.95 Mt CO2e in North Korea, a difference of 0.85 Mt CO2e.
That makes Mexico's figure about 1.1 times North Korea's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was North Korea ahead.
North Korea ranks 41st and Mexico ranks 39th of 192 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, North Korea averaged higher in 2 and Mexico in 4.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | North Korea | Mexico | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 10.19 Mt CO2e | 4.95 Mt CO2e | 5.24 Mt CO2e | North Korea |
| 1980s | 17.04 Mt CO2e | 11.78 Mt CO2e | 5.26 Mt CO2e | North Korea |
| 1990s | 13.43 Mt CO2e | 15.45 Mt CO2e | 2.02 Mt CO2e | Mexico |
| 2000s | 14.7 Mt CO2e | 18.67 Mt CO2e | 3.97 Mt CO2e | Mexico |
| 2010s | 14.67 Mt CO2e | 16.68 Mt CO2e | 2.01 Mt CO2e | Mexico |
| 2020s | 11.38 Mt CO2e | 12.41 Mt CO2e | 1.02 Mt CO2e | Mexico |
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).
