Japan vs Small states: Methane (CH4) emissions from Building (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- Japan
- Small states
How they compare
Japan currently reports 1.04 Mt CO2e against 0.9516 Mt CO2e in Small states, a difference of 0.0884 Mt CO2e.
That makes Japan's figure about 1.1 times 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 Small states ranks 44th of 197 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Japan averaged higher in 4 and Small states in 2.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.9123 Mt CO2e | 0.5744 Mt CO2e | 0.338 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1980s | 0.5554 Mt CO2e | 0.7077 Mt CO2e | 0.1523 Mt CO2e | Small states |
| 1990s | 0.6335 Mt CO2e | 0.7819 Mt CO2e | 0.1484 Mt CO2e | Small states |
| 2000s | 1.15 Mt CO2e | 0.8314 Mt CO2e | 0.3188 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2010s | 1.15 Mt CO2e | 0.8818 Mt CO2e | 0.2648 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2020s | 1.05 Mt CO2e | 0.9424 Mt CO2e | 0.1125 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).
