Egypt vs Sub-Saharan Africa: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Egypt
- Sub-Saharan Africa
How they compare
Sub-Saharan Africa currently reports 0.2902 Mt CO2e against 0.0388 Mt CO2e in Egypt, a difference of 0.2514 Mt CO2e.
That makes Sub-Saharan Africa's figure about 7.5 times Egypt's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Sub-Saharan Africa has been ahead every year.
Egypt ranks 31st and Sub-Saharan Africa ranks 30th of 94 countries.
Sub-Saharan Africa 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).
