Colombia vs European Union: Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Colombia
- European Union
How they compare
European Union currently reports 1.59 Mt CO2e against 0.1875 Mt CO2e in Colombia, a difference of 1.4 Mt CO2e.
That makes European Union's figure about 8.5 times Colombia's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, European Union has been ahead every year.
Colombia ranks 29th and European Union ranks 1st of 194 countries.
European Union has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Colombia | European Union | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.0849 Mt CO2e | 4.17 Mt CO2e | 4.09 Mt CO2e | European Union |
| 1980s | 0.1316 Mt CO2e | 5.04 Mt CO2e | 4.91 Mt CO2e | European Union |
| 1990s | 0.1663 Mt CO2e | 5.04 Mt CO2e | 4.87 Mt CO2e | European Union |
| 2000s | 0.1188 Mt CO2e | 2.94 Mt CO2e | 2.82 Mt CO2e | European Union |
| 2010s | 0.1388 Mt CO2e | 1.82 Mt CO2e | 1.68 Mt CO2e | European Union |
| 2020s | 0.1732 Mt CO2e | 1.59 Mt CO2e | 1.42 Mt CO2e | European Union |
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).
