Myanmar vs Thailand: Methane (CH4) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF
Methane (CH4) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF over time
- Myanmar
- Thailand
How they compare
Thailand currently reports 81.08 Mt CO2e against 72.72 Mt CO2e in Myanmar, a difference of 8.36 Mt CO2e.
That makes Thailand's figure about 1.1 times Myanmar's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Thailand ahead.
Myanmar ranks 24th and Thailand ranks 21st of 203 countries.
Thailand has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Myanmar | Thailand | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 42.52 Mt CO2e | 56.96 Mt CO2e | 14.44 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
| 1980s | 51.07 Mt CO2e | 67.55 Mt CO2e | 16.48 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
| 1990s | 56.41 Mt CO2e | 74.77 Mt CO2e | 18.36 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
| 2000s | 77.61 Mt CO2e | 79.9 Mt CO2e | 2.29 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
| 2010s | 84.96 Mt CO2e | 86.2 Mt CO2e | 1.24 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
| 2020s | 74.27 Mt CO2e | 79.98 Mt CO2e | 5.7 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

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).
