Chile vs North Korea: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Chile
- North Korea
How they compare
North Korea currently reports 0.0937 Mt CO2e against 0.0882 Mt CO2e in Chile, a difference of 0.0055 Mt CO2e.
That makes North Korea's figure about 1.1 times Chile's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was North Korea ahead.
Chile ranks 27th and North Korea ranks 26th of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Chile averaged higher in 1 and North Korea in 5.

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).
