Methane (CH4) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF over time
- Ecuador
- Nepal
How they compare
Ecuador currently reports 21.67 Mt CO2e against 20.59 Mt CO2e in Nepal, a difference of 1.08 Mt CO2e.
That makes Ecuador's figure about 1.1 times Nepal's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Nepal ahead.
Ecuador ranks 68th and Nepal ranks 70th of 203 countries.
Nepal 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).
