Italy vs Spain: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Italy
- Spain
How they compare
Spain currently reports 0.0337 Mt CO2e against 0.0313 Mt CO2e in Italy, a difference of 0.0024 Mt CO2e.
That makes Spain's figure about 1.1 times Italy's.
The two have swapped places 7 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Italy ahead.
Italy ranks 36th and Spain ranks 35th of 94 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Italy averaged higher in 5 and Spain in 1.

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).
