Bhutan vs Nigeria: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Bhutan
- Nigeria
How they compare
Bhutan currently reports 0.0036 Mt CO2e against 0.0031 Mt CO2e in Nigeria, a difference of 0.0005 Mt CO2e.
That makes Bhutan's figure about 1.2 times Nigeria's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Nigeria ahead.
Bhutan ranks 58th and Nigeria ranks 60th of 94 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Bhutan averaged higher in 2 and Nigeria in 2.

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).
