Greenland vs Vanuatu: Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Greenland
- Vanuatu
How they compare
Vanuatu currently reports 0.0003 Mt CO2e against 0.0002 Mt CO2e in Greenland, a difference of 0.0001 Mt CO2e.
That makes Vanuatu's figure about 1.5 times Greenland's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Vanuatu ahead.
Greenland ranks 188th and Vanuatu ranks 185th of 194 countries.
Vanuatu has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by 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).
