Australia vs South Asia: Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Australia
- South Asia
How they compare
South Asia currently reports 2.65 Mt CO2e against 0.1978 Mt CO2e in Australia, a difference of 2.45 Mt CO2e.
That makes South Asia's figure about 13.4 times Australia's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Australia ahead.
Australia ranks 26th and South Asia ranks 23rd of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Australia averaged higher in 2 and South Asia in 4.

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).
