Japan vs South Korea: F-gases emissions from Industrial Processes
F-gases emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Japan
- South Korea
How they compare
Japan currently reports 23.67 Mt CO2e against 22.36 Mt CO2e in South Korea, a difference of 1.31 Mt CO2e.
That makes Japan's figure about 1.1 times South Korea's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 35 shared years of data; in 1990 it was Japan ahead.
Japan ranks 8th and South Korea ranks 10th of 154 countries.
Japan has averaged higher in every one of the 4 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Japan | South Korea | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 53.75 Mt CO2e | 6.06 Mt CO2e | 47.7 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2000s | 32.87 Mt CO2e | 11.77 Mt CO2e | 21.1 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2010s | 19.94 Mt CO2e | 17.12 Mt CO2e | 2.82 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2020s | 22.94 Mt CO2e | 20.68 Mt CO2e | 2.26 Mt CO2e | Japan |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of fluorinated gases (hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6)), from industrial processes including IPCC 2006 codes 2.B Chemical Industry, 2.C Metal Industry, 2.E Electronics Industry, 2.F Product Uses as Substitutes for Ozone Depleting Substances, 2.G Other Product Manufacture and Use The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
