Latvia vs Sierra Leone: Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Latvia
- Sierra Leone
How they compare
Sierra Leone currently reports 0.005 Mt CO2e against 0.0044 Mt CO2e in Latvia, a difference of 0.0006 Mt CO2e.
That makes Sierra Leone's figure about 1.1 times Latvia's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Latvia ahead.
Latvia ranks 145th and Sierra Leone ranks 143rd of 194 countries.
Latvia 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).
