Botswana vs Congo: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Botswana
- Congo
How they compare
Congo currently reports 0.0013 Mt CO2e against 0.0012 Mt CO2e in Botswana, a difference of 0.0001 Mt CO2e.
That makes Congo's figure about 1.1 times Botswana's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Congo ahead.
Botswana ranks 137th and Congo ranks 134th of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Botswana averaged higher in 5 and Congo in 1.

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).
