Fertilizers Manufacturing — Emissions over time
- Japan
- Northern Africa
How they compare
Northern Africa currently reports 17,995 kt against 4,400 kt in Japan, a difference of 13,595 kt.
That makes Northern Africa's figure about 4.1 times Japan's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 34 shared years of data; in 1990 it was Japan ahead.
Japan ranks 16th and Northern Africa ranks 17th of 77 countries.
Northern Africa has averaged higher in every one of the 4 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Japan | Northern Africa | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 1,191 kt | 1,589 kt | 398.41 kt | Northern Africa |
| 2000s | 3,473 kt | 5,633 kt | 2,160 kt | Northern Africa |

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.
