Egypt vs Japan: Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Egypt
- Japan
How they compare
Egypt currently reports 0.5385 Mt CO2e against 0.4564 Mt CO2e in Japan, a difference of 0.0821 Mt CO2e.
That makes Egypt's figure about 1.2 times Japan's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Japan ahead.
Egypt ranks 11th and Japan ranks 12th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Egypt averaged higher in 2 and Japan in 4.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Egypt | Japan | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.0743 Mt CO2e | 1.03 Mt CO2e | 0.9556 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1980s | 0.1648 Mt CO2e | 1.51 Mt CO2e | 1.35 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1990s | 0.2943 Mt CO2e | 1.61 Mt CO2e | 1.31 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2000s | 0.6332 Mt CO2e | 1.03 Mt CO2e | 0.3956 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2010s | 0.6823 Mt CO2e | 0.6579 Mt CO2e | 0.0245 Mt CO2e | Egypt |
| 2020s | 0.5165 Mt CO2e | 0.4828 Mt CO2e | 0.0337 Mt CO2e | Egypt |
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 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).
