Algeria vs Kuwait: Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste
Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste over time
- Algeria
- Kuwait
How they compare
Kuwait currently reports 11.14 Mt CO2e against 9.76 Mt CO2e in Algeria, a difference of 1.38 Mt CO2e.
That makes Kuwait's figure about 1.1 times Algeria's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Algeria ahead.
Algeria ranks 37th and Kuwait ranks 34th of 203 countries.
Kuwait 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).
