Methane (CH4) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- Nigeria
- Norway
How they compare
Nigeria currently reports 0.0267 Mt CO2e against 0.0239 Mt CO2e in Norway, a difference of 0.0028 Mt CO2e.
That makes Nigeria's figure about 1.1 times Norway's.
The two have swapped places 6 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Nigeria ahead.
Nigeria ranks 61st and Norway ranks 63rd of 194 countries.
Nigeria 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).
