Cameroon vs Libya: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Cameroon
- Libya
How they compare
Libya currently reports 0.0021 Mt CO2e against 0.0019 Mt CO2e in Cameroon, a difference of 0.0002 Mt CO2e.
That makes Libya's figure about 1.1 times Cameroon's.
The two have swapped places 11 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Cameroon ahead.
Cameroon ranks 126th and Libya ranks 124th of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Cameroon averaged higher in 2 and Libya in 3.

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).
