Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Kyrgyzstan
- Latvia
How they compare
Kyrgyzstan currently reports 0.0052 Mt CO2e against 0.0044 Mt CO2e in Latvia, a difference of 0.0008 Mt CO2e.
That makes Kyrgyzstan's figure about 1.2 times Latvia's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Kyrgyzstan ahead.
Kyrgyzstan ranks 142nd and Latvia ranks 145th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Kyrgyzstan averaged higher in 4 and Latvia 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).
