India vs Saudi Arabia: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- India
- Saudi Arabia
How they compare
Saudi Arabia currently reports 0.7887 Mt CO2e against 0.4561 Mt CO2e in India, a difference of 0.3326 Mt CO2e.
That makes Saudi Arabia's figure about 1.7 times India's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Saudi Arabia ahead.
India ranks 6th and Saudi Arabia ranks 3rd of 94 countries.
Saudi Arabia 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).
