Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Benin
- Burkina Faso
How they compare
Burkina Faso currently reports 0.0021 Mt CO2e against 0.0019 Mt CO2e in Benin, a difference of 0.0002 Mt CO2e.
That makes Burkina Faso's figure about 1.1 times Benin's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Burkina Faso ahead.
Benin ranks 126th and Burkina Faso ranks 124th of 193 countries.
Burkina Faso 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 industrial combustion (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.2 Manufacturing Industries and Construction. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
