What the numbers show
Food Transport — Energy Use (Coal) is currently reported for 37 countries. The highest value is 2,241 TJ in China, mainland; the lowest is 0.1635 TJ in Sri Lanka.
The median across all reporting countries is 13.29 TJ, and the mean is 153.95 TJ.
The gap between the highest and lowest reporting country is a factor of about 13,705.
Over the past decade 12 countries rose and 21 fell. The largest increase was in Colombia (up 1,479.0%), and the largest decrease in India (down 99.8%).

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.
