Japan vs Lower middle income: Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Japan
- Lower middle income
How they compare
Lower middle income currently reports 5.22 Mt CO2e against 0.4564 Mt CO2e in Japan, a difference of 4.76 Mt CO2e.
That makes Lower middle income's figure about 11.4 times Japan's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Japan ahead.
Japan ranks 12th and Lower middle income ranks 15th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Japan averaged higher in 2 and Lower middle income in 4.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Japan | Lower middle income | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 1.03 Mt CO2e | 0.6855 Mt CO2e | 0.3443 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1980s | 1.51 Mt CO2e | 1.15 Mt CO2e | 0.359 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1990s | 1.61 Mt CO2e | 1.98 Mt CO2e | 0.3724 Mt CO2e | Lower middle income |
| 2000s | 1.03 Mt CO2e | 3.46 Mt CO2e | 2.43 Mt CO2e | Lower middle income |
| 2010s | 0.6579 Mt CO2e | 4.5 Mt CO2e | 3.84 Mt CO2e | Lower middle income |
| 2020s | 0.4828 Mt CO2e | 4.79 Mt CO2e | 4.31 Mt CO2e | Lower middle income |
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).
