Methane (CH4) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- Pakistan
- South Africa
How they compare
South Africa currently reports 0.055 Mt CO2e against 0.0509 Mt CO2e in Pakistan, a difference of 0.0041 Mt CO2e.
That makes South Africa's figure about 1.1 times Pakistan's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was South Africa ahead.
Pakistan ranks 44th and South Africa ranks 42nd of 194 countries.
South Africa 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).
