China vs IBRD only: Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- China
- IBRD only
How they compare
IBRD only currently reports 2,153 Mt CO2e against 736.76 Mt CO2e in China, a difference of 1,416 Mt CO2e.
That makes IBRD only's figure about 2.9 times China's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, IBRD only has been ahead every year.
China ranks 1st and IBRD only ranks 4th of 192 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 | 145.75 Mt CO2e | 1,027 Mt CO2e | 881.7 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 1980s | 214.62 Mt CO2e | 1,117 Mt CO2e | 902.29 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 1990s | 280.57 Mt CO2e | 1,215 Mt CO2e | 934 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 2000s | 411.43 Mt CO2e | 1,424 Mt CO2e | 1,012 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 2010s | 588.97 Mt CO2e | 1,789 Mt CO2e | 1,200 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 2020s | 691.61 Mt CO2e | 1,997 Mt CO2e | 1,306 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 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).
