- Kenya
- Zambia
How they compare
Zambia currently reports 0.0539 Mt CO2e against 0.0511 Mt CO2e in Kenya, a difference of 0.0028 Mt CO2e.
That makes Zambia's figure about 1.1 times Kenya's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Zambia has been ahead every year.
Kenya ranks 43rd and Zambia ranks 40th of 193 countries.
Zambia 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).
