Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Lesotho
- Niger
How they compare
Niger currently reports 0.0004 Mt CO2e against 0.0003 Mt CO2e in Lesotho, a difference of 0.0001 Mt CO2e.
That makes Niger's figure about 1.3 times Lesotho's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Lesotho ahead.
Lesotho ranks 157th and Niger ranks 154th of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Lesotho averaged higher in 5 and Niger 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).
