IBRD only vs United States: Methane (CH4) emissions from Power Industry (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- IBRD only
- United States
How they compare
IBRD only currently reports 9.46 Mt CO2e against 2 Mt CO2e in United States, a difference of 7.46 Mt CO2e.
That makes IBRD only's figure about 4.7 times United States's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was IBRD only ahead.
IBRD only ranks 3rd and United States ranks 2nd of 45 groups.
Across the 6 decades both report, IBRD only averaged higher in 5 and United States in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | IBRD only | United States | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.6098 Mt CO2e | 0.483 Mt CO2e | 0.1268 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 1980s | 1.01 Mt CO2e | 0.6237 Mt CO2e | 0.3864 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 1990s | 1.66 Mt CO2e | 2.12 Mt CO2e | 0.464 Mt CO2e | United States |
| 2000s | 2.7 Mt CO2e | 1.71 Mt CO2e | 0.9955 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 2010s | 5.74 Mt CO2e | 1.83 Mt CO2e | 3.91 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 2020s | 8.84 Mt CO2e | 1.95 Mt CO2e | 6.89 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
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 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).
