Belgium vs South Asia: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Belgium
- South Asia
How they compare
South Asia currently reports 0.4597 Mt CO2e against 0.05 Mt CO2e in Belgium, a difference of 0.4097 Mt CO2e.
That makes South Asia's figure about 9.2 times Belgium's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was South Asia ahead.
Belgium ranks 29th and South Asia ranks 27th of 94 countries.
South Asia 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).
