Australia vs Pakistan: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Australia
- Pakistan
How they compare
Pakistan currently reports 0.1976 Mt CO2e against 0.1578 Mt CO2e in Australia, a difference of 0.0398 Mt CO2e.
That makes Pakistan's figure about 1.3 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 Pakistan ranks 14th of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Australia averaged higher in 3 and Pakistan in 3.

| Decade | Australia | Pakistan | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.1212 Mt CO2e | 0.0575 Mt CO2e | 0.0636 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 1980s | 0.1191 Mt CO2e | 0.0777 Mt CO2e | 0.0413 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 1990s | 0.13 Mt CO2e | 0.1097 Mt CO2e | 0.0203 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 2000s | 0.1295 Mt CO2e | 0.1559 Mt CO2e | 0.0263 Mt CO2e | Pakistan |
| 2010s | 0.161 Mt CO2e | 0.2025 Mt CO2e | 0.0415 Mt CO2e | Pakistan |
| 2020s | 0.1538 Mt CO2e | 0.2132 Mt CO2e | 0.0594 Mt CO2e | Pakistan |
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 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).
