Australia vs IDA only: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Australia
- IDA only
How they compare
Australia currently reports 0.0216 Mt CO2e against 0.0112 Mt CO2e in IDA only, a difference of 0.0104 Mt CO2e.
That makes Australia's figure about 1.9 times IDA only's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Australia has been ahead every year.
Australia ranks 41st and IDA only ranks 42nd of 94 countries.
Australia 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 processes including IPCC 2006 codes 2.A.1 Cement production, 2.A.2 Lime production, 2.A.3 Glass Production, 2.A.4 Other Process Uses of Carbonates, 2.B Chemical Industry, 2.C Metal Industry, 2.D Non-Energy Products from Fuels and Solvent Use, 2.E Electronics Industry, 2.F Product Uses as Substitutes for Ozone Depleting Substances, 2.G Other Product Manufacture and Use and 5.A Indirect N2O emissions from the atmospheric deposition of nitrogen in NOx and NH3. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
