- Germany
- Poland
How they compare
Poland currently reports 0.2154 Mt CO2e against 0.1987 Mt CO2e in Germany, a difference of 0.0167 Mt CO2e.
That makes Poland's figure about 1.1 times Germany's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Germany ahead.
Germany ranks 25th and Poland ranks 23rd of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Germany averaged higher in 5 and Poland in 1.

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).
