Germany vs Sudan: Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste
Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste over time
- Germany
- Sudan
How they compare
Sudan currently reports 9.96 Mt CO2e against 8.1 Mt CO2e in Germany, a difference of 1.86 Mt CO2e.
That makes Sudan's figure about 1.2 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 Sudan ranks 36th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Germany averaged higher in 5 and Sudan in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Germany | Sudan | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 43.72 Mt CO2e | 1.95 Mt CO2e | 41.77 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 1980s | 44.85 Mt CO2e | 2.53 Mt CO2e | 42.32 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 1990s | 41.91 Mt CO2e | 3.6 Mt CO2e | 38.31 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 2000s | 23.95 Mt CO2e | 5.2 Mt CO2e | 18.75 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 2010s | 11.93 Mt CO2e | 7.14 Mt CO2e | 4.79 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 2020s | 8.42 Mt CO2e | 9.37 Mt CO2e | 0.951 Mt CO2e | Sudan |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

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).
