Gabon vs Iceland: Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Gabon
- Iceland
How they compare
Iceland currently reports 0.0021 Mt CO2e against 0.0017 Mt CO2e in Gabon, a difference of 0.0004 Mt CO2e.
That makes Iceland's figure about 1.2 times Gabon's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Iceland ahead.
Gabon ranks 163rd and Iceland ranks 161st of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Gabon averaged higher in 1 and Iceland in 5.

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).
