Belgium vs Least developed countries: Methane (CH4) emissions from Power Industry (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- Belgium
- Least developed countries
How they compare
Least developed countries currently reports 0.14 Mt CO2e against 0.0561 Mt CO2e in Belgium, a difference of 0.0839 Mt CO2e.
That makes Least developed countries's figure about 2.5 times Belgium's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Belgium ahead.
Belgium ranks 40th and Least developed countries ranks 37th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Belgium averaged higher in 4 and Least developed countries in 2.

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).
