France vs Turkey: Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste
Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste over time
- France
- Turkey
How they compare
Turkey currently reports 20.79 Mt CO2e against 18.44 Mt CO2e in France, a difference of 2.35 Mt CO2e.
That makes Turkey's figure about 1.1 times France's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was France ahead.
France ranks 20th and Turkey ranks 18th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, France averaged higher in 5 and Turkey 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).
