- Australia
- Malaysia
How they compare
Australia currently reports 0.104 Mt CO2e against 0.0898 Mt CO2e in Malaysia, a difference of 0.0142 Mt CO2e.
That makes Australia's figure about 1.2 times Malaysia's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Australia ahead.
Australia ranks 29th and Malaysia ranks 32nd of 194 countries.
Australia 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 electricity and heat generation (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.1.a. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
