Germany vs IDA blend: Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste
Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste over time
- Germany
- IDA blend
How they compare
IDA blend currently reports 79.96 Mt CO2e against 8.1 Mt CO2e in Germany, a difference of 71.86 Mt CO2e.
That makes IDA blend's figure about 9.9 times Germany's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Germany ahead.
Germany ranks 38th and IDA blend ranks 39th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Germany averaged higher in 3 and IDA blend 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).
