IBRD only vs United States: Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- IBRD only
- United States
How they compare
IBRD only currently reports 19.02 Mt CO2e against 3.59 Mt CO2e in United States, a difference of 15.43 Mt CO2e.
That makes IBRD only's figure about 5.3 times United States's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was United States ahead.
IBRD only ranks 5th and United States ranks 2nd of 46 groups.
Across the 6 decades both report, IBRD only averaged higher in 3 and United States in 3.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | IBRD only | United States | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 4.35 Mt CO2e | 11.26 Mt CO2e | 6.91 Mt CO2e | United States |
| 1980s | 6.39 Mt CO2e | 11.98 Mt CO2e | 5.6 Mt CO2e | United States |
| 1990s | 9.57 Mt CO2e | 12.98 Mt CO2e | 3.41 Mt CO2e | United States |
| 2000s | 13.69 Mt CO2e | 9.36 Mt CO2e | 4.33 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 2010s | 17.28 Mt CO2e | 4.47 Mt CO2e | 12.82 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 2020s | 17.86 Mt CO2e | 3.51 Mt CO2e | 14.34 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
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).
