Japan vs Russia: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Japan
- Russia
How they compare
Russia currently reports 0.4996 Mt CO2e against 0.3162 Mt CO2e in Japan, a difference of 0.1834 Mt CO2e.
That makes Russia's figure about 1.6 times Japan's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Japan ahead.
Japan ranks 9th and Russia ranks 6th of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Japan averaged higher in 5 and Russia in 1.

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).
