China vs Russian Federation: Methane (CH4) emissions from Power Industry (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- China
- Russian Federation
How they compare
China currently reports 4.13 Mt CO2e against 0.6907 Mt CO2e in Russian Federation, a difference of 3.44 Mt CO2e.
That makes China's figure about 6.0 times Russian Federation's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Russian Federation ahead.
China ranks 1st and Russian Federation ranks 4th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, China averaged higher in 3 and Russian Federation in 3.

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).
