Japan vs Vietnam: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Japan
- Vietnam
How they compare
Vietnam currently reports 0.4864 Mt CO2e against 0.3162 Mt CO2e in Japan, a difference of 0.1702 Mt CO2e.
That makes Vietnam's figure about 1.5 times Japan's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Japan ahead.
Japan ranks 9th and Vietnam ranks 7th of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Japan averaged higher in 5 and Vietnam in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Japan | Vietnam | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.2872 Mt CO2e | 0.0727 Mt CO2e | 0.2145 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1980s | 0.3376 Mt CO2e | 0.1058 Mt CO2e | 0.2318 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1990s | 0.381 Mt CO2e | 0.1286 Mt CO2e | 0.2523 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2000s | 0.3692 Mt CO2e | 0.1645 Mt CO2e | 0.2047 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2010s | 0.3636 Mt CO2e | 0.2377 Mt CO2e | 0.1259 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2020s | 0.3267 Mt CO2e | 0.4354 Mt CO2e | 0.1087 Mt CO2e | Vietnam |
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).
