Australia vs IDA total: Methane (CH4) emissions from Power Industry (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- Australia
- IDA total
How they compare
IDA total currently reports 0.3619 Mt CO2e against 0.104 Mt CO2e in Australia, a difference of 0.2579 Mt CO2e.
That makes IDA total's figure about 3.5 times Australia's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was IDA total ahead.
Australia ranks 29th and IDA total ranks 29th of 194 countries.
IDA total 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 electricity and heat generation (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.1.a. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
