China vs OECD: Energy Use (Pre- and Post-Production) — Emissions (CH4) (CH4)
Energy Use (Pre- and Post-Production) — Emissions (CH4) (CH4) over time
- China
- OECD
How they compare
China currently reports 324.14 kt against 100.06 kt in OECD, a difference of 224.08 kt.
That makes China's figure about 3.2 times OECD's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 34 shared years of data; in 1990 it was OECD ahead.
China ranks 1st and OECD ranks 3rd of 242 countries.
Across the 4 decades both report, China averaged higher in 3 and OECD in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | China | OECD | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 65.97 kt | 124.91 kt | 58.94 kt | OECD |
| 2000s | 350.02 kt | 122.81 kt | 227.2 kt | China |
| 2010s | 421.15 kt | 117.12 kt | 304.03 kt | China |
| 2020s | 316.55 kt | 101.89 kt | 214.66 kt | China |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain Emissions from Pre- and Post-Agricultural Production provides estimates of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and related activity data associated with pre- and post-production stages of agrifood systems. The domain includes methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), fluorinated gases (F-gases) and their aggregates expressed in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq). Estimates are computed following Tier 1 methods of the IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014) and are disseminated annually.
