Russia vs World: Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Russia
- World
How they compare
World currently reports 3,237 Mt CO2e against 263.08 Mt CO2e in Russia, a difference of 2,974 Mt CO2e.
That makes World's figure about 12.3 times Russia's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, World has been ahead every year.
Russia ranks 4th and World ranks 1st of 192 countries.
World 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).
