- Algeria
- Japan
How they compare
Algeria currently reports 56.34 Mt CO2e against 50.87 Mt CO2e in Japan, a difference of 5.47 Mt CO2e.
That makes Algeria's figure about 1.1 times Japan's.
The two have swapped places 9 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Japan ahead.
Algeria ranks 36th and Japan ranks 39th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Algeria 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 agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
