Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Botswana
- Burkina Faso
How they compare
Burkina Faso currently reports 0.0197 Mt CO2e against 0.0185 Mt CO2e in Botswana, a difference of 0.0012 Mt CO2e.
That makes Burkina Faso's figure about 1.1 times Botswana's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Botswana ahead.
Botswana ranks 100th and Burkina Faso ranks 97th of 194 countries.

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).
