Congo vs Madagascar: Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Congo
- Madagascar
How they compare
Madagascar currently reports 0.0078 Mt CO2e against 0.0073 Mt CO2e in Congo, a difference of 0.0005 Mt CO2e.
That makes Madagascar's figure about 1.1 times Congo's.
The two have swapped places 6 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Madagascar ahead.
Congo ranks 133rd and Madagascar ranks 132nd of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Congo averaged higher in 2 and Madagascar in 4.

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).
