Nigeria vs Pakistan: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Nigeria
- Pakistan
How they compare
Pakistan currently reports 0.1976 Mt CO2e against 0.1661 Mt CO2e in Nigeria, a difference of 0.0315 Mt CO2e.
That makes Pakistan's figure about 1.2 times Nigeria's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Pakistan ahead.
Nigeria ranks 16th and Pakistan ranks 14th of 193 countries.
Pakistan 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).
