China vs IDA & IBRD total: Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- China
- IDA & IBRD total
How they compare
IDA & IBRD total currently reports 2,432 Mt CO2e against 736.76 Mt CO2e in China, a difference of 1,695 Mt CO2e.
That makes IDA & IBRD total's figure about 3.3 times China's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, IDA & IBRD total has been ahead every year.
China ranks 1st and IDA & IBRD total ranks 2nd of 192 countries.
IDA & IBRD total 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 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).
