Mauritania vs Zimbabwe: Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Mauritania
- Zimbabwe
How they compare
Mauritania currently reports 0.0174 Mt CO2e against 0.0156 Mt CO2e in Zimbabwe, a difference of 0.0018 Mt CO2e.
That makes Mauritania's figure about 1.1 times Zimbabwe's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Zimbabwe ahead.
Mauritania ranks 101st and Zimbabwe ranks 104th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Mauritania averaged higher in 1 and Zimbabwe in 5.

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).
