Saudi Arabia vs World: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Saudi Arabia
- World
How they compare
World currently reports 15.28 Mt CO2e against 0.7887 Mt CO2e in Saudi Arabia, a difference of 14.49 Mt CO2e.
That makes World's figure about 19.4 times Saudi Arabia's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, World has been ahead every year.
Saudi Arabia ranks 3rd and World ranks 1st of 94 countries.
World 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).
