Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Botswana
- Mauritania
How they compare
Botswana currently reports 0.0185 Mt CO2e against 0.0174 Mt CO2e in Mauritania, a difference of 0.0011 Mt CO2e.
That makes Botswana's figure about 1.1 times Mauritania's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Botswana ahead.
Botswana ranks 100th and Mauritania ranks 101st of 194 countries.
Botswana 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 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).
