Iceland vs Liberia: Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Iceland
- Liberia
How they compare
Liberia currently reports 0.0025 Mt CO2e against 0.0021 Mt CO2e in Iceland, a difference of 0.0004 Mt CO2e.
That makes Liberia's figure about 1.2 times Iceland's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Iceland ahead.
Iceland ranks 161st and Liberia ranks 158th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Iceland averaged higher in 4 and Liberia in 2.

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).
