Egypt vs Iran: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Egypt
- Iran
How they compare
Iran currently reports 0.0799 Mt CO2e against 0.0674 Mt CO2e in Egypt, a difference of 0.0125 Mt CO2e.
That makes Iran's figure about 1.2 times Egypt's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Egypt ahead.
Egypt ranks 32nd and Iran ranks 29th of 193 countries.
Iran has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Egypt | Iran | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.0129 Mt CO2e | 0.0139 Mt CO2e | 0.001 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 1980s | 0.0221 Mt CO2e | 0.0283 Mt CO2e | 0.0063 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 1990s | 0.0261 Mt CO2e | 0.037 Mt CO2e | 0.0109 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 2000s | 0.029 Mt CO2e | 0.0477 Mt CO2e | 0.0186 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 2010s | 0.034 Mt CO2e | 0.0559 Mt CO2e | 0.022 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 2020s | 0.0496 Mt CO2e | 0.0771 Mt CO2e | 0.0275 Mt CO2e | Iran |
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).
