- Belgium
- Equatorial Guinea
How they compare
Equatorial Guinea currently reports 0.0625 Mt CO2e against 0.05 Mt CO2e in Belgium, a difference of 0.0125 Mt CO2e.
That makes Equatorial Guinea's figure about 1.2 times Belgium's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Belgium ahead.
Belgium ranks 29th and Equatorial Guinea ranks 26th of 94 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Belgium averaged higher in 4 and Equatorial Guinea in 2.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from industrial processes including IPCC 2006 codes 2.A.1 Cement production, 2.A.2 Lime production, 2.A.3 Glass Production, 2.A.4 Other Process Uses of Carbonates, 2.B Chemical Industry, 2.C Metal Industry, 2.D Non-Energy Products from Fuels and Solvent Use, 2.E Electronics Industry, 2.F Product Uses as Substitutes for Ozone Depleting Substances, 2.G Other Product Manufacture and Use and 5.A Indirect N2O emissions from the atmospheric deposition of nitrogen in NOx and NH3. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
