Kenya vs Sudan: Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Kenya
- Sudan
How they compare
Sudan currently reports 0.0726 Mt CO2e against 0.0653 Mt CO2e in Kenya, a difference of 0.0073 Mt CO2e.
That makes Sudan's figure about 1.1 times Kenya's.
The two have swapped places 7 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Kenya ahead.
Kenya ranks 47th and Sudan ranks 45th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Kenya averaged higher in 3 and Sudan in 3.

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).
