Latvia vs Sweden: Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Latvia
- Sweden
How they compare
Sweden currently reports 0.2101 Mt CO2e against 0.1936 Mt CO2e in Latvia, a difference of 0.0165 Mt CO2e.
That makes Sweden's figure about 1.1 times Latvia's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Sweden ahead.
Latvia ranks 135th and Sweden ranks 134th of 192 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Latvia averaged higher in 1 and Sweden in 5.

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).
