Belgium vs Small states: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Belgium
- Small states
How they compare
Small states currently reports 0.302 Mt CO2e against 0.05 Mt CO2e in Belgium, a difference of 0.252 Mt CO2e.
That makes Small states's figure about 6.0 times Belgium's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Belgium ahead.
Belgium ranks 29th and Small states ranks 30th of 94 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Belgium averaged higher in 2 and Small states in 4.

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).
