China vs IBRD only: Methane (CH4) emissions from Agriculture
Methane (CH4) emissions from Agriculture over time
- China
- IBRD only
How they compare
IBRD only currently reports 2,535 Mt CO2e against 498.98 Mt CO2e in China, a difference of 2,036 Mt CO2e.
That makes IBRD only's figure about 5.1 times China's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, IBRD only has been ahead every year.
China ranks 2nd and IBRD only ranks 5th of 201 countries.
IBRD only has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | China | IBRD only | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 440.28 Mt CO2e | 1,875 Mt CO2e | 1,434 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 1980s | 480.41 Mt CO2e | 2,157 Mt CO2e | 1,676 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 1990s | 519.17 Mt CO2e | 2,267 Mt CO2e | 1,748 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 2000s | 488.71 Mt CO2e | 2,292 Mt CO2e | 1,804 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 2010s | 482.32 Mt CO2e | 2,413 Mt CO2e | 1,931 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 2020s | 486.46 Mt CO2e | 2,506 Mt CO2e | 2,019 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
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 agricultural sector. This includes emissions from livestock (IPCC 2006 codes 3.A.1 (enteric fermentation, 3.a.2 (manure management) and crops (IPCC 2006 codes 3.C.1 Emissions from biomass burning, 3.C.7 Rice cultivations). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
