France vs Spain: Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- France
- Spain
How they compare
France currently reports 0.1859 Mt CO2e against 0.1597 Mt CO2e in Spain, a difference of 0.0262 Mt CO2e.
That makes France's figure about 1.2 times Spain's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was France ahead.
France ranks 31st and Spain ranks 33rd of 194 countries.
France 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).
