- Ghana
- Netherlands
How they compare
Ghana currently reports 18.11 Mt CO2e against 17.05 Mt CO2e in Netherlands, a difference of 1.06 Mt CO2e.
That makes Ghana's figure about 1.1 times Netherlands's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Netherlands ahead.
Ghana ranks 78th and Netherlands ranks 80th of 203 countries.
Netherlands 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).
