France vs South Asia: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- France
- South Asia
How they compare
South Asia currently reports 0.4597 Mt CO2e against 0.051 Mt CO2e in France, a difference of 0.4087 Mt CO2e.
That makes South Asia's figure about 9.0 times France's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was France ahead.
France ranks 28th and South Asia ranks 27th of 94 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, France averaged higher in 3 and South Asia in 3.

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).
