Australia vs IDA total: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Australia
- IDA total
How they compare
IDA total currently reports 0.0275 Mt CO2e against 0.0216 Mt CO2e in Australia, a difference of 0.0059 Mt CO2e.
That makes IDA total's figure about 1.3 times Australia's.
The two have swapped places 11 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Australia ahead.
Australia ranks 41st and IDA total ranks 40th of 94 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Australia averaged higher in 3 and IDA total in 3.

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).
