India vs OECD: Food Transport — Energy Use
Food Transport — Energy Use over time
- India
- OECD
How they compare
India currently reports 17,146 TJ against 14,636 TJ in OECD, a difference of 2,510 TJ.
That makes India's figure about 1.2 times OECD's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 34 shared years of data; in 1990 it was India ahead.
India ranks 4th and OECD ranks 5th of 70 countries.
Across the 4 decades both report, India averaged higher in 2 and OECD in 2.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | India | OECD | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 5,721 TJ | 1,762 TJ | 3,959 TJ | India |
| 2000s | 7.85 TJ | 5,557 TJ | 5,549 TJ | OECD |
| 2010s | 12,306 TJ | 13,660 TJ | 1,354 TJ | OECD |
| 2020s | 16,186 TJ | 14,721 TJ | 1,465 TJ | India |
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.
