- Congo
- Eritrea
How they compare
Congo currently reports 0.7254 Mt CO2e against 0.685 Mt CO2e in Eritrea, a difference of 0.0404 Mt CO2e.
That makes Congo's figure about 1.1 times Eritrea's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Eritrea ahead.
Congo ranks 131st and Eritrea ranks 132nd of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Congo averaged higher in 2 and Eritrea in 4.

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).
