Methane (CH4) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF over time
- Kuwait
- Other small states
How they compare
Kuwait currently reports 38.69 Mt CO2e against 11.66 Mt CO2e in Other small states, a difference of 27.03 Mt CO2e.
That makes Kuwait's figure about 3.3 times Other small states's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Kuwait ahead.
Kuwait ranks 45th and Other small states ranks 45th of 203 countries.
Kuwait 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).
