Europe vs Japan: Energy Use (Pre- and Post-Production) — Energy Use
Energy Use (Pre- and Post-Production) — Energy Use over time
- Europe
- Japan
How they compare
Europe currently reports 2.75 million TJ against 301,392 TJ in Japan, a difference of 2.45 million TJ.
That makes Europe's figure about 9.1 times Japan's.
Across all 34 years both countries report, Europe has been ahead every year.
Europe ranks 5th and Japan ranks 7th of 32 groups.
Europe has averaged higher in every one of the 4 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Europe | Japan | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 2.38 million TJ | 150,023 TJ | 2.23 million TJ | Europe |
| 2000s | 2.76 million TJ | 257,853 TJ | 2.50 million TJ | Europe |
| 2010s | 2.82 million TJ | 307,321 TJ | 2.51 million TJ | Europe |
| 2020s | 2.84 million TJ | 301,316 TJ | 2.54 million TJ | 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.
