Japan vs South America: Cold Chain F-Gas — Emissions (CO2eq) from F-gases
Cold Chain F-Gas — Emissions (CO2eq) from F-gases over time
- Japan
- South America
How they compare
South America currently reports 35,039 kt against 5,508 kt in Japan, a difference of 29,531 kt.
That makes South America's figure about 6.4 times Japan's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 34 shared years of data; in 1990 it was South America ahead.
Japan ranks 16th and South America ranks 15th of 191 countries.
South America has averaged higher in every one of the 4 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Japan | South America | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 2,398 kt | 3,397 kt | 998.39 kt | South America |
| 2000s | 877.52 kt | 8,741 kt | 7,864 kt | South America |
| 2010s | 3,648 kt | 23,538 kt | 19,890 kt | South America |
| 2020s | 5,434 kt | 34,579 kt | 29,144 kt | South America |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions from Pre- and post- agricultural production includes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and related activity data, generated from pre- and post-agriculture production stages of the agri-food systems. Data are computed following the Tier 1 methods of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014). The domain includes methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and CO2 equivalent (CO2eq) emissions from the above activities as well as the aggregate fluorinated gases (F-gases) emissions. Estimates are available by country, with global coverage and are updated annually.The FAOSTAT domain disseminates information estimates of CH4, N2O, CO2 emissions, F-gases, their aggregates in CO2eq in units of kilotonnes (kt, or 10^6 kg), and the underlying activity data. CO2eq emissions are computed by using the IPCC Fifth Assessment report global warming potentials, AR5 (IPCC, 2014). Data are available for most countries and territories, for standard FAOSTAT regional aggregations, and for Annex I and non-Annex I country groups.
