Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Egypt
- Saudi Arabia
How they compare
Egypt currently reports 0.5385 Mt CO2e against 0.3983 Mt CO2e in Saudi Arabia, a difference of 0.1402 Mt CO2e.
That makes Egypt's figure about 1.4 times Saudi Arabia's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Egypt ahead.
Egypt ranks 11th and Saudi Arabia ranks 13th of 194 countries.

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).
