Bangladesh vs Chile: Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste
Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste over time
- Bangladesh
- Chile
How they compare
Bangladesh currently reports 17.03 Mt CO2e against 14.34 Mt CO2e in Chile, a difference of 2.69 Mt CO2e.
That makes Bangladesh's figure about 1.2 times Chile's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Bangladesh ahead.
Bangladesh ranks 23rd and Chile ranks 26th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Bangladesh averaged higher in 5 and Chile in 1.

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).
