How this figure is calculated
Methane (CH4) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) (Mt CO2e) divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Methane (CH4) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) (Mt CO2e) ÷ Population, total
Computed from
- Methane (CH4) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission
- Population, total World Population Prospects, United Nations (UN)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
