Japan vs Thailand: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Japan
- Thailand
How they compare
Thailand currently reports 0.349 Mt CO2e against 0.3162 Mt CO2e in Japan, a difference of 0.0328 Mt CO2e.
That makes Thailand's figure about 1.1 times Japan's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Japan ahead.
Japan ranks 9th and Thailand ranks 8th of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Japan averaged higher in 4 and Thailand in 2.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Japan | Thailand | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.2872 Mt CO2e | 0.0573 Mt CO2e | 0.23 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1980s | 0.3376 Mt CO2e | 0.0897 Mt CO2e | 0.2479 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1990s | 0.381 Mt CO2e | 0.1641 Mt CO2e | 0.2169 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2000s | 0.3692 Mt CO2e | 0.2585 Mt CO2e | 0.1107 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2010s | 0.3636 Mt CO2e | 0.3888 Mt CO2e | 0.0252 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
| 2020s | 0.3267 Mt CO2e | 0.3512 Mt CO2e | 0.0245 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
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 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).
