Ecuador vs Iraq: Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Ecuador
- Iraq
How they compare
Iraq currently reports 0.1389 Mt CO2e against 0.0966 Mt CO2e in Ecuador, a difference of 0.0423 Mt CO2e.
That makes Iraq's figure about 1.4 times Ecuador's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Iraq ahead.
Ecuador ranks 39th and Iraq ranks 36th of 194 countries.
Iraq has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Ecuador | Iraq | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.021 Mt CO2e | 0.0318 Mt CO2e | 0.0108 Mt CO2e | Iraq |
| 1980s | 0.0397 Mt CO2e | 0.1031 Mt CO2e | 0.0633 Mt CO2e | Iraq |
| 1990s | 0.0562 Mt CO2e | 0.1501 Mt CO2e | 0.094 Mt CO2e | Iraq |
| 2000s | 0.0462 Mt CO2e | 0.1094 Mt CO2e | 0.0632 Mt CO2e | Iraq |
| 2010s | 0.072 Mt CO2e | 0.093 Mt CO2e | 0.021 Mt CO2e | Iraq |
| 2020s | 0.0862 Mt CO2e | 0.1192 Mt CO2e | 0.0331 Mt CO2e | Iraq |
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).
