Ghana vs Sudan: Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Ghana
- Sudan
How they compare
Sudan currently reports 0.0726 Mt CO2e against 0.0685 Mt CO2e in Ghana, a difference of 0.0041 Mt CO2e.
That makes Sudan's figure about 1.1 times Ghana's.
The two have swapped places 13 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Ghana ahead.
Ghana ranks 46th and Sudan ranks 45th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Ghana averaged higher in 1 and Sudan in 5.

| Decade | Ghana | Sudan | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.0092 Mt CO2e | 0.0093 Mt CO2e | 0.0001 Mt CO2e | Sudan |
| 1980s | 0.01 Mt CO2e | 0.0124 Mt CO2e | 0.0024 Mt CO2e | Sudan |
| 1990s | 0.0155 Mt CO2e | 0.0138 Mt CO2e | 0.0017 Mt CO2e | Ghana |
| 2000s | 0.0238 Mt CO2e | 0.0267 Mt CO2e | 0.0029 Mt CO2e | Sudan |
| 2010s | 0.0469 Mt CO2e | 0.0576 Mt CO2e | 0.0107 Mt CO2e | Sudan |
| 2020s | 0.0685 Mt CO2e | 0.0698 Mt CO2e | 0.0013 Mt CO2e | Sudan |
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).
