Methane (CH4) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- India
- Japan
How they compare
India currently reports 1.01 Mt CO2e against 0.6478 Mt CO2e in Japan, a difference of 0.3622 Mt CO2e.
That makes India'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.
India ranks 3rd and Japan ranks 5th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, India averaged higher in 2 and Japan in 4.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | India | Japan | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.0159 Mt CO2e | 0.1497 Mt CO2e | 0.1337 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1980s | 0.0415 Mt CO2e | 0.2086 Mt CO2e | 0.167 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1990s | 0.1097 Mt CO2e | 0.2898 Mt CO2e | 0.1801 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2000s | 0.2642 Mt CO2e | 0.3481 Mt CO2e | 0.0839 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2010s | 0.6742 Mt CO2e | 0.6105 Mt CO2e | 0.0637 Mt CO2e | India |

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from electricity and heat generation (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.1.a. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
