India vs Russia: Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- India
- Russia
How they compare
India currently reports 2.4 Mt CO2e against 1 Mt CO2e in Russia, a difference of 1.4 Mt CO2e.
That makes India's figure about 2.4 times Russia's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Russia ahead.
India ranks 4th and Russia ranks 5th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, India averaged higher in 3 and Russia in 3.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the transportation sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.3.a Civil Aviation, 1.A.3.b_noRES Road Transportation no resuspension, 1.A.3.c Railways, 1.A.3.d Water-borne Navigation, 1.A.3.e Other Transportation. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
