Japan vs Russia: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Japan
- Russia
How they compare
Russia currently reports 290.63 Mt CO2e against 161.04 Mt CO2e in Japan, a difference of 129.59 Mt CO2e.
That makes Russia's figure about 1.8 times Japan's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Japan ahead.
Japan ranks 6th and Russia ranks 4th of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Japan averaged higher in 4 and Russia in 2.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from industrial combustion (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.2 Manufacturing Industries and Construction. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
