- Algeria
- Euro area
How they compare
Euro area currently reports 92.06 Mt CO2e against 9.76 Mt CO2e in Algeria, a difference of 82.3 Mt CO2e.
That makes Euro area's figure about 9.4 times Algeria's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Euro area has been ahead every year.
Algeria ranks 37th and Euro area ranks 38th of 203 countries.
Euro area 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 waste sector. This includes emissions from solid waste (IPCC 2006 codes 4.A Solid Waste Disposal, 4.B Biological Treatment of Solid Waste, 4.C Incineration and Open Burning of Waste) and wastewater treatment (IPCC 2006 code 4.D Wastewater Treatment and Discharge). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
