Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Iran
- Russia
How they compare
Russia currently reports 0.5148 Mt CO2e against 0.4266 Mt CO2e in Iran, a difference of 0.0882 Mt CO2e.
That makes Russia's figure about 1.2 times Iran's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Russia has been ahead every year.
Iran ranks 7th and Russia ranks 5th of 94 countries.
Russia 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).
