China vs IBRD only: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- China
- IBRD only
How they compare
IBRD only currently reports 10.85 Mt CO2e against 7.6 Mt CO2e in China, a difference of 3.25 Mt CO2e.
That makes IBRD only's figure about 1.4 times China's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, IBRD only has been ahead every year.
China ranks 1st and IBRD only ranks 3rd of 94 countries.
IBRD only has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | China | IBRD only | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.5216 Mt CO2e | 2.34 Mt CO2e | 1.82 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 1980s | 0.3331 Mt CO2e | 1.64 Mt CO2e | 1.31 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 1990s | 0.5258 Mt CO2e | 1.8 Mt CO2e | 1.27 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 2000s | 1.61 Mt CO2e | 3.74 Mt CO2e | 2.13 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 2010s | 5.31 Mt CO2e | 8.06 Mt CO2e | 2.75 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 2020s | 7.29 Mt CO2e | 10.4 Mt CO2e | 3.11 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
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).
