Canada vs OECD: Food Processing — Energy Use
Food Processing — Energy Use over time
- Canada
- OECD
How they compare
OECD currently reports 1.81 million TJ against 89,806 TJ in Canada, a difference of 1.72 million TJ.
That makes OECD's figure about 20.2 times Canada's.
Across all 19 years both countries report, OECD has been ahead every year.
Canada ranks 4th and OECD ranks 1st of 65 countries.
OECD has averaged higher in every one of the 3 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Canada | OECD | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2000s | 41,456 TJ | 1.42 million TJ | 1.38 million TJ | OECD |

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.
