Iran vs South Korea: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Iran
- South Korea
How they compare
Iran currently reports 0.4266 Mt CO2e against 0.2862 Mt CO2e in South Korea, a difference of 0.1404 Mt CO2e.
That makes Iran's figure about 1.5 times South Korea's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was South Korea ahead.
Iran ranks 7th and South Korea ranks 10th of 94 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Iran averaged higher in 3 and South Korea 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).
