Japan vs Pakistan: Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Japan
- Pakistan
How they compare
Japan currently reports 0.4564 Mt CO2e against 0.3976 Mt CO2e in Pakistan, a difference of 0.0588 Mt CO2e.
That makes Japan's figure about 1.1 times Pakistan's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Japan ahead.
Japan ranks 12th and Pakistan ranks 14th of 194 countries.
Japan has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Japan | Pakistan | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 1.03 Mt CO2e | 0.0211 Mt CO2e | 1.01 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1980s | 1.51 Mt CO2e | 0.065 Mt CO2e | 1.45 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1990s | 1.61 Mt CO2e | 0.1692 Mt CO2e | 1.44 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2000s | 1.03 Mt CO2e | 0.4453 Mt CO2e | 0.5836 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2010s | 0.6579 Mt CO2e | 0.5746 Mt CO2e | 0.0833 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2020s | 0.4828 Mt CO2e | 0.4448 Mt CO2e | 0.038 Mt CO2e | Japan |
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).
