Kyrgyzstan vs Libya: Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste
Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste over time
- Kyrgyzstan
- Libya
How they compare
Libya currently reports 3.06 Mt CO2e against 2.85 Mt CO2e in Kyrgyzstan, a difference of 0.21 Mt CO2e.
That makes Libya's figure about 1.1 times Kyrgyzstan's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Kyrgyzstan ahead.
Kyrgyzstan ranks 84th and Libya ranks 82nd of 203 countries.
Libya has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Kyrgyzstan | Libya | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.6878 Mt CO2e | 0.7595 Mt CO2e | 0.0717 Mt CO2e | Libya |
| 1980s | 0.8492 Mt CO2e | 1.52 Mt CO2e | 0.6726 Mt CO2e | Libya |
| 1990s | 1.05 Mt CO2e | 2.03 Mt CO2e | 0.9842 Mt CO2e | Libya |
| 2000s | 1.56 Mt CO2e | 2.46 Mt CO2e | 0.8972 Mt CO2e | Libya |
| 2010s | 2.21 Mt CO2e | 2.53 Mt CO2e | 0.3194 Mt CO2e | Libya |
| 2020s | 2.78 Mt CO2e | 2.91 Mt CO2e | 0.1302 Mt CO2e | Libya |
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).
