Algeria vs Germany: Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste
Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste over time
- Algeria
- Germany
How they compare
Algeria currently reports 9.76 Mt CO2e against 8.1 Mt CO2e in Germany, a difference of 1.66 Mt CO2e.
That makes Algeria's figure about 1.2 times Germany's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Germany ahead.
Algeria ranks 37th and Germany ranks 38th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Algeria averaged higher in 1 and Germany in 5.

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).
