Least developed countries vs Low income: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Least developed countries
- Low income
How they compare
Least developed countries currently reports 0.7109 Mt CO2e against 0.5128 Mt CO2e in Low income, a difference of 0.1981 Mt CO2e.
That makes Least developed countries's figure about 1.4 times Low income's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Low income ahead.
Least developed countries ranks 31st and Low income ranks 34th of 45 groups.
Across the 6 decades both report, Least developed countries averaged higher in 2 and Low income in 4.
Head to head by decade

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.1925 Mt CO2e | 0.255 Mt CO2e | 0.0624 Mt CO2e | Low income |
| 1980s | 0.2218 Mt CO2e | 0.3644 Mt CO2e | 0.1426 Mt CO2e | Low income |
| 1990s | 0.3004 Mt CO2e | 0.3446 Mt CO2e | 0.0441 Mt CO2e | Low income |
| 2000s | 0.365 Mt CO2e | 0.3708 Mt CO2e | 0.0058 Mt CO2e | Low income |
| 2010s | 0.4902 Mt CO2e | 0.3663 Mt CO2e | 0.1239 Mt CO2e | Least developed countries |
| 2020s | 0.6807 Mt CO2e | 0.4859 Mt CO2e | 0.1948 Mt CO2e | Least developed countries |
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).
