Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Chile
- Sub-Saharan Africa
How they compare
Sub-Saharan Africa currently reports 1.06 Mt CO2e against 0.0882 Mt CO2e in Chile, a difference of 0.9718 Mt CO2e.
That makes Sub-Saharan Africa's figure about 12.0 times Chile's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Sub-Saharan Africa has been ahead every year.
Chile ranks 27th and Sub-Saharan Africa ranks 24th of 193 countries.
Sub-Saharan Africa 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 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).
