Canada vs Japan: Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Canada
- Japan
How they compare
Canada currently reports 0.5773 Mt CO2e against 0.4564 Mt CO2e in Japan, a difference of 0.1209 Mt CO2e.
That makes Canada's figure about 1.3 times Japan's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Canada ahead.
Canada ranks 9th and Japan ranks 12th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Canada averaged higher in 2 and Japan in 4.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the transportation sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.3.a Civil Aviation, 1.A.3.b_noRES Road Transportation no resuspension, 1.A.3.c Railways, 1.A.3.d Water-borne Navigation, 1.A.3.e Other Transportation. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
