European Union vs India: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- European Union
- India
How they compare
India currently reports 4.39 Mt CO2e against 1.28 Mt CO2e in European Union, a difference of 3.11 Mt CO2e.
That makes India's figure about 3.4 times European Union's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was European Union ahead.
European Union ranks 1st and India ranks 1st of 2 groups.
Across the 6 decades both report, European Union averaged higher in 3 and India in 3.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | European Union | India | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 1.21 Mt CO2e | 0.7197 Mt CO2e | 0.4952 Mt CO2e | European Union |
| 1980s | 1.24 Mt CO2e | 0.8024 Mt CO2e | 0.433 Mt CO2e | European Union |
| 1990s | 1.16 Mt CO2e | 1.03 Mt CO2e | 0.1277 Mt CO2e | European Union |
| 2000s | 1.14 Mt CO2e | 1.66 Mt CO2e | 0.5175 Mt CO2e | India |
| 2010s | 1.22 Mt CO2e | 2.9 Mt CO2e | 1.68 Mt CO2e | India |
| 2020s | 1.29 Mt CO2e | 4.02 Mt CO2e | 2.73 Mt CO2e | India |
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).
