Australia vs Kuwait: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Australia
- Kuwait
How they compare
Kuwait currently reports 0.0232 Mt CO2e against 0.0216 Mt CO2e in Australia, a difference of 0.0016 Mt CO2e.
That makes Kuwait's figure about 1.1 times Australia's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Australia ahead.
Australia ranks 41st and Kuwait ranks 39th 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).
