Iraq vs Least developed countries: Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Iraq
- Least developed countries
How they compare
Least developed countries currently reports 0.8523 Mt CO2e against 0.1389 Mt CO2e in Iraq, a difference of 0.7134 Mt CO2e.
That makes Least developed countries's figure about 6.1 times Iraq's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Least developed countries ahead.
Iraq ranks 36th and Least developed countries ranks 38th of 194 countries.
Least developed countries has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
