New Zealand vs Small states: Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- New Zealand
- Small states
How they compare
Small states currently reports 0.0889 Mt CO2e against 0.0794 Mt CO2e in New Zealand, a difference of 0.0095 Mt CO2e.
That makes Small states's figure about 1.1 times New Zealand's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was New Zealand ahead.
New Zealand ranks 43rd and Small states ranks 42nd of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, New Zealand averaged higher in 5 and Small states in 1.

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).
