Iceland vs Libya: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Iceland
- Libya
How they compare
Iceland currently reports 0.0037 Mt CO2e against 0.0032 Mt CO2e in Libya, a difference of 0.0005 Mt CO2e.
That makes Iceland's figure about 1.2 times Libya's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Libya ahead.
Iceland ranks 57th and Libya ranks 59th of 94 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Iceland averaged higher in 1 and Libya in 5.

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).
