South Korea vs Libya: Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- South Korea
- Libya
How they compare
South Korea currently reports 0.2291 Mt CO2e against 0.2146 Mt CO2e in Libya, a difference of 0.0145 Mt CO2e.
That makes South Korea's figure about 1.1 times Libya's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was South Korea ahead.
South Korea ranks 22nd and Libya ranks 24th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, South Korea averaged higher in 3 and Libya 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).
