- China
- Middle income
How they compare
Middle income currently reports 19.53 Mt CO2e against 5.54 Mt CO2e in China, a difference of 13.99 Mt CO2e.
That makes Middle income's figure about 3.5 times China's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Middle income has been ahead every year.
China ranks 1st and Middle income ranks 4th of 194 countries.
Middle income 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).
