Japan vs Other small states: Methane (CH4) emissions from Building (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- Japan
- Other small states
How they compare
Japan currently reports 1.04 Mt CO2e against 0.8748 Mt CO2e in Other small states, a difference of 0.1652 Mt CO2e.
That makes Japan's figure about 1.2 times Other small states's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Japan ahead.
Japan ranks 43rd and Other small states ranks 44th of 197 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Japan averaged higher in 4 and Other small states in 2.
Head to head by decade

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.9123 Mt CO2e | 0.5268 Mt CO2e | 0.3856 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1980s | 0.5554 Mt CO2e | 0.5995 Mt CO2e | 0.0441 Mt CO2e | Other small states |
| 1990s | 0.6335 Mt CO2e | 0.7023 Mt CO2e | 0.0688 Mt CO2e | Other small states |
| 2000s | 1.15 Mt CO2e | 0.7565 Mt CO2e | 0.3936 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2010s | 1.15 Mt CO2e | 0.8102 Mt CO2e | 0.3364 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2020s | 1.05 Mt CO2e | 0.8728 Mt CO2e | 0.182 Mt CO2e | Japan |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

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).
