Canada vs Germany: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Canada
- Germany
How they compare
Germany currently reports 0.2334 Mt CO2e against 0.1846 Mt CO2e in Canada, a difference of 0.0488 Mt CO2e.
That makes Germany's figure about 1.3 times Canada's.
The two have swapped places 6 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Germany ahead.
Canada ranks 15th and Germany ranks 12th of 94 countries.
Germany has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Canada | Germany | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.1986 Mt CO2e | 0.3196 Mt CO2e | 0.121 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 1980s | 0.2233 Mt CO2e | 0.2367 Mt CO2e | 0.0134 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 1990s | 0.2096 Mt CO2e | 0.2245 Mt CO2e | 0.0149 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 2000s | 0.1568 Mt CO2e | 0.2884 Mt CO2e | 0.1316 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 2010s | 0.1441 Mt CO2e | 0.235 Mt CO2e | 0.0909 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 2020s | 0.1739 Mt CO2e | 0.2357 Mt CO2e | 0.0618 Mt CO2e | Germany |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

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).
