Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste over time
- Chad
- Zimbabwe
How they compare
Chad currently reports 1.86 Mt CO2e against 1.6 Mt CO2e in Zimbabwe, a difference of 0.26 Mt CO2e.
That makes Chad's figure about 1.2 times Zimbabwe's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Chad ahead.
Chad ranks 100th and Zimbabwe ranks 103rd of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Chad averaged higher in 3 and Zimbabwe in 3.

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).
