Mexico vs Pakistan: Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Mexico
- Pakistan
How they compare
Pakistan currently reports 12.41 Mt CO2e against 11.8 Mt CO2e in Mexico, a difference of 0.61 Mt CO2e.
That makes Pakistan's figure about 1.1 times Mexico's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Mexico ahead.
Mexico ranks 39th and Pakistan ranks 36th of 192 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Mexico averaged higher in 5 and Pakistan in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Mexico | Pakistan | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 4.95 Mt CO2e | 2.36 Mt CO2e | 2.58 Mt CO2e | Mexico |
| 1980s | 11.78 Mt CO2e | 5.45 Mt CO2e | 6.33 Mt CO2e | Mexico |
| 1990s | 15.45 Mt CO2e | 9.6 Mt CO2e | 5.85 Mt CO2e | Mexico |
| 2000s | 18.67 Mt CO2e | 12.44 Mt CO2e | 6.23 Mt CO2e | Mexico |
| 2010s | 16.68 Mt CO2e | 12.8 Mt CO2e | 3.89 Mt CO2e | Mexico |
| 2020s | 12.41 Mt CO2e | 12.69 Mt CO2e | 0.2854 Mt CO2e | Pakistan |
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).
