Methane (CH4) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF over time
- Argentina
- Australia
How they compare
Australia currently reports 144.58 Mt CO2e against 136.72 Mt CO2e in Argentina, a difference of 7.86 Mt CO2e.
That makes Australia's figure about 1.1 times Argentina's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Australia ahead.
Argentina ranks 13th and Australia ranks 12th of 203 countries.
Australia 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 agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
