Malaysia vs Thailand: Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Malaysia
- Thailand
How they compare
Malaysia currently reports 0.3735 Mt CO2e against 0.3459 Mt CO2e in Thailand, a difference of 0.0276 Mt CO2e.
That makes Malaysia's figure about 1.1 times Thailand's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Thailand ahead.
Malaysia ranks 15th and Thailand ranks 17th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Malaysia averaged higher in 3 and Thailand in 3.

| Decade | Malaysia | Thailand | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.0442 Mt CO2e | 0.0625 Mt CO2e | 0.0183 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
| 1980s | 0.1029 Mt CO2e | 0.113 Mt CO2e | 0.0101 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
| 1990s | 0.2535 Mt CO2e | 0.3078 Mt CO2e | 0.0544 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
| 2000s | 0.3748 Mt CO2e | 0.3422 Mt CO2e | 0.0326 Mt CO2e | Malaysia |
| 2010s | 0.3753 Mt CO2e | 0.3538 Mt CO2e | 0.0214 Mt CO2e | Malaysia |
| 2020s | 0.3417 Mt CO2e | 0.3271 Mt CO2e | 0.0145 Mt CO2e | Malaysia |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

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).
