Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Samoa
- Vanuatu
How they compare
Vanuatu currently reports 0.0021 Mt CO2e against 0.0018 Mt CO2e in Samoa, a difference of 0.0003 Mt CO2e.
That makes Vanuatu's figure about 1.2 times Samoa's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Samoa ahead.
Samoa ranks 175th and Vanuatu ranks 172nd of 192 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Samoa averaged higher in 3 and Vanuatu in 3.

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).
