Australia vs Libya: Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Australia
- Libya
How they compare
Libya currently reports 0.2146 Mt CO2e against 0.1978 Mt CO2e in Australia, a difference of 0.0168 Mt CO2e.
That makes Libya's figure about 1.1 times Australia's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Australia ahead.
Australia ranks 26th and Libya ranks 24th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Australia averaged higher in 4 and Libya in 2.

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).
