Canada vs India: Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Canada
- India
How they compare
India currently reports 108.11 Mt CO2e against 71.72 Mt CO2e in Canada, a difference of 36.39 Mt CO2e.
That makes India's figure about 1.5 times Canada's.
The two have swapped places 9 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Canada ahead.
Canada ranks 9th and India ranks 7th of 192 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Canada averaged higher in 1 and India in 5.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Canada | India | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 36.32 Mt CO2e | 34.9 Mt CO2e | 1.42 Mt CO2e | Canada |
| 1980s | 38.99 Mt CO2e | 60.69 Mt CO2e | 21.7 Mt CO2e | India |
| 1990s | 56.22 Mt CO2e | 57.45 Mt CO2e | 1.23 Mt CO2e | India |
| 2000s | 69.87 Mt CO2e | 71.9 Mt CO2e | 2.03 Mt CO2e | India |
| 2010s | 74.95 Mt CO2e | 77.64 Mt CO2e | 2.69 Mt CO2e | India |
| 2020s | 66.87 Mt CO2e | 89.82 Mt CO2e | 22.94 Mt CO2e | India |
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 fugitive emissions (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.1.bc Petroleum Refining - Manufacture of Solid Fuels and Other Energy Industries, 1.B.1 Solid Fuels, 1.B.2 Oil and Natural Gas, 5.B. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
