Japan vs Nigeria: Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Japan
- Nigeria
How they compare
Nigeria currently reports 0.5526 Mt CO2e against 0.4564 Mt CO2e in Japan, a difference of 0.0962 Mt CO2e.
That makes Nigeria's figure about 1.2 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 Nigeria ranks 10th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Japan averaged higher in 5 and Nigeria in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Japan | Nigeria | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 1.03 Mt CO2e | 0.0495 Mt CO2e | 0.9804 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1980s | 1.51 Mt CO2e | 0.115 Mt CO2e | 1.4 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1990s | 1.61 Mt CO2e | 0.1342 Mt CO2e | 1.47 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2000s | 1.03 Mt CO2e | 0.2324 Mt CO2e | 0.7964 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2010s | 0.6579 Mt CO2e | 0.4272 Mt CO2e | 0.2306 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2020s | 0.4828 Mt CO2e | 0.5252 Mt CO2e | 0.0423 Mt CO2e | Nigeria |
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).
