- Ecuador
- Qatar
How they compare
Qatar currently reports 23.15 Mt CO2e against 21.67 Mt CO2e in Ecuador, a difference of 1.48 Mt CO2e.
That makes Qatar's figure about 1.1 times Ecuador's.
The two have swapped places 12 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Qatar ahead.
Ecuador ranks 68th and Qatar ranks 66th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Ecuador averaged higher in 3 and Qatar in 3.

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).
