India vs Iran: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- India
- Iran
How they compare
India currently reports 0.4561 Mt CO2e against 0.4266 Mt CO2e in Iran, a difference of 0.0295 Mt CO2e.
That makes India's figure about 1.1 times Iran's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was India ahead.
India ranks 6th and Iran ranks 7th of 94 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, India averaged higher in 3 and Iran in 3.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | India | Iran | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.0812 Mt CO2e | 0.0059 Mt CO2e | 0.0753 Mt CO2e | India |
| 1980s | 0.0444 Mt CO2e | 0.006 Mt CO2e | 0.0384 Mt CO2e | India |
| 1990s | 0.0852 Mt CO2e | 0.0216 Mt CO2e | 0.0636 Mt CO2e | India |
| 2000s | 0.1278 Mt CO2e | 0.1661 Mt CO2e | 0.0383 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 2010s | 0.2667 Mt CO2e | 0.3725 Mt CO2e | 0.1058 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 2020s | 0.3893 Mt CO2e | 0.4256 Mt CO2e | 0.0363 Mt CO2e | Iran |
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).
