Food Packaging — Energy Use over time
- China
- OECD
How they compare
China currently reports 654,509 TJ against 46,351 TJ in OECD, a difference of 608,158 TJ.
That makes China's figure about 14.1 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 67 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 | 42,497 TJ | 109,544 TJ | 67,047 TJ | OECD |
| 2000s | 522,532 TJ | 77,875 TJ | 444,657 TJ | China |

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.
