- Qatar
- Turkmenistan
How they compare
Qatar currently reports 19.01 Mt CO2e against 14.93 Mt CO2e in Turkmenistan, a difference of 4.08 Mt CO2e.
That makes Qatar's figure about 1.3 times Turkmenistan's.
The two have swapped places 6 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Qatar ahead.
Qatar ranks 27th and Turkmenistan ranks 30th of 192 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Qatar averaged higher in 5 and Turkmenistan in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Qatar | Turkmenistan | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 9.74 Mt CO2e | 5.46 Mt CO2e | 4.28 Mt CO2e | Qatar |
| 1980s | 7.4 Mt CO2e | 7.43 Mt CO2e | 0.0231 Mt CO2e | Turkmenistan |
| 1990s | 13.06 Mt CO2e | 7.41 Mt CO2e | 5.65 Mt CO2e | Qatar |
| 2000s | 21.78 Mt CO2e | 14.06 Mt CO2e | 7.72 Mt CO2e | Qatar |
| 2010s | 19.41 Mt CO2e | 15.64 Mt CO2e | 3.77 Mt CO2e | Qatar |

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).
