France vs Italy: Methane (CH4) emissions from Building (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- France
- Italy
How they compare
France currently reports 2.45 Mt CO2e against 2.28 Mt CO2e in Italy, a difference of 0.17 Mt CO2e.
That makes France's figure about 1.1 times Italy's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was France ahead.
France ranks 18th and Italy ranks 20th of 197 countries.
France 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 building sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.4 Residential and other sectors, 1.A.5 Non-Specified. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
