Equatorial Guinea vs Mauritania: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Equatorial Guinea
- Mauritania
How they compare
Mauritania currently reports 0.0008 Mt CO2e against 0.0006 Mt CO2e in Equatorial Guinea, a difference of 0.0002 Mt CO2e.
That makes Mauritania's figure about 1.3 times Equatorial Guinea's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Mauritania ahead.
Equatorial Guinea ranks 148th and Mauritania ranks 145th of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Equatorial Guinea averaged higher in 2 and Mauritania in 4.

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).
