Russian Federation vs United States: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Russian Federation
- United States
How they compare
United States currently reports 1.02 Mt CO2e against 0.5148 Mt CO2e in Russian Federation, a difference of 0.5052 Mt CO2e.
That makes United States's figure about 2.0 times Russian Federation's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, United States has been ahead every year.
Russian Federation ranks 5th and United States ranks 2nd of 94 countries.
United States has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Russian Federation | United States | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.379 Mt CO2e | 0.5623 Mt CO2e | 0.1833 Mt CO2e | United States |
| 1980s | 0.3527 Mt CO2e | 0.5893 Mt CO2e | 0.2366 Mt CO2e | United States |
| 1990s | 0.2594 Mt CO2e | 0.777 Mt CO2e | 0.5176 Mt CO2e | United States |
| 2000s | 0.3926 Mt CO2e | 0.5837 Mt CO2e | 0.1911 Mt CO2e | United States |
| 2010s | 0.4816 Mt CO2e | 0.6627 Mt CO2e | 0.181 Mt CO2e | United States |
| 2020s | 0.5102 Mt CO2e | 1.02 Mt CO2e | 0.5107 Mt CO2e | United States |
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).
