Methane (CH4) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF over time
- Australia
- Canada
How they compare
Australia currently reports 144.58 Mt CO2e against 133.08 Mt CO2e in Canada, a difference of 11.5 Mt CO2e.
That makes Australia's figure about 1.1 times Canada's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Australia ahead.
Australia ranks 12th and Canada ranks 14th 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).
