Canada vs Mexico: Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Canada
- Mexico
How they compare
Mexico currently reports 0.6771 Mt CO2e against 0.5773 Mt CO2e in Canada, a difference of 0.0998 Mt CO2e.
That makes Mexico's figure about 1.2 times Canada's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Canada ahead.
Canada ranks 9th and Mexico ranks 8th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Canada averaged higher in 4 and Mexico in 2.

| Decade | Canada | Mexico | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 1.01 Mt CO2e | 0.3386 Mt CO2e | 0.6718 Mt CO2e | Canada |
| 1980s | 1.08 Mt CO2e | 0.6254 Mt CO2e | 0.4526 Mt CO2e | Canada |
| 1990s | 1.1 Mt CO2e | 0.8211 Mt CO2e | 0.276 Mt CO2e | Canada |
| 2000s | 1.01 Mt CO2e | 0.9043 Mt CO2e | 0.1037 Mt CO2e | Canada |
| 2010s | 0.6819 Mt CO2e | 0.8573 Mt CO2e | 0.1753 Mt CO2e | Mexico |
| 2020s | 0.5559 Mt CO2e | 0.6291 Mt CO2e | 0.0732 Mt CO2e | Mexico |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

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).
