Ireland vs Niger: Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste
Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste over time
- Ireland
- Niger
How they compare
Niger currently reports 1.25 Mt CO2e against 1.16 Mt CO2e in Ireland, a difference of 0.09 Mt CO2e.
That makes Niger's figure about 1.1 times Ireland's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Ireland ahead.
Ireland ranks 114th and Niger ranks 112th of 203 countries.
Ireland has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
