Japan vs Southern Europe: Cold Chain F-Gas — Emissions (CO2eq) from F-gases
Cold Chain F-Gas — Emissions (CO2eq) from F-gases over time
- Japan
- Southern Europe
How they compare
Southern Europe currently reports 24,792 kt against 5,508 kt in Japan, a difference of 19,284 kt.
That makes Southern Europe's figure about 4.5 times Japan's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 34 shared years of data; in 1990 it was Southern Europe ahead.
Japan ranks 16th and Southern Europe ranks 17th of 191 countries.
Southern Europe has averaged higher in every one of the 4 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Japan | Southern Europe | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 2,398 kt | 4,716 kt | 2,318 kt | Southern Europe |
| 2000s | 877.52 kt | 17,873 kt | 16,995 kt | Southern Europe |
| 2010s | 3,648 kt | 28,465 kt | 24,817 kt | Southern Europe |
| 2020s | 5,434 kt | 24,192 kt | 18,758 kt | Southern Europe |
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.
