Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Ethiopia
- Iraq
How they compare
Iraq currently reports 0.0141 Mt CO2e against 0.0131 Mt CO2e in Ethiopia, a difference of 0.001 Mt CO2e.
That makes Iraq's figure about 1.1 times Ethiopia's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Iraq ahead.
Ethiopia ranks 72nd and Iraq ranks 70th of 193 countries.
Iraq 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).
