Azerbaijan vs Kyrgyzstan: Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste
Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste over time
- Azerbaijan
- Kyrgyzstan
How they compare
Kyrgyzstan currently reports 2.85 Mt CO2e against 2.71 Mt CO2e in Azerbaijan, a difference of 0.14 Mt CO2e.
That makes Kyrgyzstan's figure about 1.1 times Azerbaijan's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Azerbaijan ahead.
Azerbaijan ranks 87th and Kyrgyzstan ranks 85th of 204 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Azerbaijan averaged higher in 5 and Kyrgyzstan in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Azerbaijan | Kyrgyzstan | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 1.33 Mt CO2e | 0.6878 Mt CO2e | 0.6464 Mt CO2e | Azerbaijan |
| 1980s | 1.59 Mt CO2e | 0.8492 Mt CO2e | 0.7393 Mt CO2e | Azerbaijan |
| 1990s | 1.68 Mt CO2e | 1.05 Mt CO2e | 0.6364 Mt CO2e | Azerbaijan |
| 2000s | 1.76 Mt CO2e | 1.56 Mt CO2e | 0.1973 Mt CO2e | Azerbaijan |
| 2010s | 2.26 Mt CO2e | 2.21 Mt CO2e | 0.0444 Mt CO2e | Azerbaijan |

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).
