Indonesia vs Iran: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Indonesia
- Iran
How they compare
Iran currently reports 0.4266 Mt CO2e against 0.3506 Mt CO2e in Indonesia, a difference of 0.076 Mt CO2e.
That makes Iran's figure about 1.2 times Indonesia's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Iran ahead.
Indonesia ranks 8th and Iran ranks 7th of 94 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Indonesia averaged higher in 1 and Iran in 5.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Indonesia | Iran | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.0005 Mt CO2e | 0.0059 Mt CO2e | 0.0054 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 1980s | 0.0004 Mt CO2e | 0.006 Mt CO2e | 0.0056 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 1990s | 0.0403 Mt CO2e | 0.0216 Mt CO2e | 0.0187 Mt CO2e | Indonesia |
| 2000s | 0.0609 Mt CO2e | 0.1661 Mt CO2e | 0.1052 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 2010s | 0.0785 Mt CO2e | 0.3725 Mt CO2e | 0.294 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 2020s | 0.2931 Mt CO2e | 0.4256 Mt CO2e | 0.1325 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).
