Laos vs Mongolia: Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste
Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste over time
- Laos
- Mongolia
How they compare
Mongolia currently reports 0.5127 Mt CO2e against 0.4771 Mt CO2e in Laos, a difference of 0.0356 Mt CO2e.
That makes Mongolia's figure about 1.1 times Laos's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Mongolia ahead.
Laos ranks 144th and Mongolia ranks 143rd of 203 countries.
Mongolia 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).
