Algeria vs European Union: Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste
Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste over time
- Algeria
- European Union
How they compare
European Union currently reports 116.93 Mt CO2e against 9.76 Mt CO2e in Algeria, a difference of 107.17 Mt CO2e.
That makes European Union's figure about 12.0 times Algeria's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, European Union has been ahead every year.
Algeria ranks 37th and European Union ranks 33rd of 203 countries.
European Union has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

| Decade | Algeria | European Union | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 1.38 Mt CO2e | 171.87 Mt CO2e | 170.5 Mt CO2e | European Union |
| 1980s | 1.99 Mt CO2e | 180.83 Mt CO2e | 178.84 Mt CO2e | European Union |
| 1990s | 2.92 Mt CO2e | 180.27 Mt CO2e | 177.36 Mt CO2e | European Union |
| 2000s | 4.32 Mt CO2e | 160.69 Mt CO2e | 156.37 Mt CO2e | European Union |
| 2010s | 6.89 Mt CO2e | 131.41 Mt CO2e | 124.51 Mt CO2e | European Union |

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).
