Australia vs Nigeria: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Australia
- Nigeria
How they compare
Nigeria currently reports 0.1661 Mt CO2e against 0.1578 Mt CO2e in Australia, a difference of 0.0083 Mt CO2e.
That makes Nigeria's figure about 1.1 times Australia's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Australia ahead.
Australia ranks 17th and Nigeria ranks 16th of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Australia averaged higher in 4 and Nigeria in 2.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from industrial combustion (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.2 Manufacturing Industries and Construction. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
