Canada vs Japan: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Canada
- Japan
How they compare
Japan currently reports 0.3162 Mt CO2e against 0.2499 Mt CO2e in Canada, a difference of 0.0663 Mt CO2e.
That makes Japan's figure about 1.3 times Canada's.
The two have swapped places 11 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Canada ahead.
Canada ranks 11th and Japan ranks 9th of 193 countries.
Japan has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), 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).
