Mauritania vs New Zealand: Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Mauritania
- New Zealand
How they compare
Mauritania currently reports 0.7099 Mt CO2e against 0.671 Mt CO2e in New Zealand, a difference of 0.0389 Mt CO2e.
That makes Mauritania's figure about 1.1 times New Zealand's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was New Zealand ahead.
Mauritania ranks 112th and New Zealand ranks 115th of 192 countries.
New Zealand has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
