China vs Japan: Pre- and post-production — Energy Use
Pre- and post-production — Energy Use over time
- China
- Japan
How they compare
China currently reports 5.13 million TJ against 927,573 TJ in Japan, a difference of 4.21 million TJ.
That makes China's figure about 5.5 times Japan's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 34 shared years of data; in 1990 it was China ahead.
China ranks 2nd and Japan ranks 5th of 205 countries.
China has averaged higher in every one of the 4 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | China | Japan | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 677,757 TJ | 615,773 TJ | 61,984 TJ | China |
| 2000s | 2.55 million TJ | 907,073 TJ | 1.65 million TJ | China |
| 2010s | 4.17 million TJ | 975,876 TJ | 3.19 million TJ | China |
| 2020s | 4.93 million TJ | 933,976 TJ | 3.99 million TJ | China |
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.
