Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Nicaragua
- Niger
How they compare
Nicaragua currently reports 0.0112 Mt CO2e against 0.01 Mt CO2e in Niger, a difference of 0.0012 Mt CO2e.
That makes Nicaragua's figure about 1.1 times Niger's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Nicaragua ahead.
Nicaragua ranks 116th and Niger ranks 119th of 194 countries.
Nicaragua 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).
