Methane (CH4) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF over time
- South Africa
- Thailand
How they compare
South Africa currently reports 93.23 Mt CO2e against 81.08 Mt CO2e in Thailand, a difference of 12.15 Mt CO2e.
That makes South Africa's figure about 1.1 times Thailand's.
The two have swapped places 9 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Thailand ahead.
South Africa ranks 19th and Thailand ranks 21st of 203 countries.

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).
