Small states vs Zambia: Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Small states
- Zambia
How they compare
Zambia currently reports 8.56 Mt CO2e against 6.18 Mt CO2e in Small states, a difference of 2.38 Mt CO2e.
That makes Zambia's figure about 1.4 times Small states's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Small states ahead.
Small states ranks 42nd and Zambia ranks 47th of 45 groups.
Across the 6 decades both report, Small states averaged higher in 4 and Zambia in 2.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Small states | Zambia | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 2.93 Mt CO2e | 1.31 Mt CO2e | 1.62 Mt CO2e | Small states |
| 1980s | 3.15 Mt CO2e | 1.65 Mt CO2e | 1.5 Mt CO2e | Small states |
| 1990s | 3.17 Mt CO2e | 2.1 Mt CO2e | 1.07 Mt CO2e | Small states |
| 2000s | 5.38 Mt CO2e | 2.93 Mt CO2e | 2.45 Mt CO2e | Small states |
| 2010s | 5.23 Mt CO2e | 5.26 Mt CO2e | 0.0313 Mt CO2e | Zambia |

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).
