Afghanistan vs Panama: Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Afghanistan
- Panama
How they compare
Panama currently reports 0.0274 Mt CO2e against 0.026 Mt CO2e in Afghanistan, a difference of 0.0014 Mt CO2e.
That makes Panama's figure about 1.1 times Afghanistan's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Panama ahead.
Afghanistan ranks 80th and Panama ranks 78th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Afghanistan averaged higher in 1 and Panama in 5.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the transportation sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.3.a Civil Aviation, 1.A.3.b_noRES Road Transportation no resuspension, 1.A.3.c Railways, 1.A.3.d Water-borne Navigation, 1.A.3.e Other Transportation. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
