Indonesia vs Japan: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Indonesia
- Japan
How they compare
Indonesia currently reports 0.3506 Mt CO2e against 0.2676 Mt CO2e in Japan, a difference of 0.083 Mt CO2e.
That makes Indonesia's figure about 1.3 times Japan's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Japan ahead.
Indonesia ranks 8th and Japan ranks 11th of 94 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Indonesia averaged higher in 1 and Japan in 5.

| Decade | Indonesia | Japan | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.0005 Mt CO2e | 0.4599 Mt CO2e | 0.4594 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1980s | 0.0004 Mt CO2e | 0.3096 Mt CO2e | 0.3092 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1990s | 0.0403 Mt CO2e | 0.2941 Mt CO2e | 0.2538 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2000s | 0.0609 Mt CO2e | 0.3242 Mt CO2e | 0.2633 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2010s | 0.0785 Mt CO2e | 0.3679 Mt CO2e | 0.2894 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2020s | 0.2931 Mt CO2e | 0.281 Mt CO2e | 0.0121 Mt CO2e | Indonesia |
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 processes including IPCC 2006 codes 2.A.1 Cement production, 2.A.2 Lime production, 2.A.3 Glass Production, 2.A.4 Other Process Uses of Carbonates, 2.B Chemical Industry, 2.C Metal Industry, 2.D Non-Energy Products from Fuels and Solvent Use, 2.E Electronics Industry, 2.F Product Uses as Substitutes for Ozone Depleting Substances, 2.G Other Product Manufacture and Use and 5.A Indirect N2O emissions from the atmospheric deposition of nitrogen in NOx and NH3. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
