Methane (CH4) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- Colombia
- Japan
How they compare
Japan currently reports 1.04 Mt CO2e against 0.9621 Mt CO2e in Colombia, a difference of 0.0779 Mt CO2e.
That makes Japan's figure about 1.1 times Colombia's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Colombia ahead.
Colombia ranks 45th and Japan ranks 43rd of 197 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Colombia averaged higher in 3 and Japan in 3.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the building sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.4 Residential and other sectors, 1.A.5 Non-Specified. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
