In 2022, methane emissions generated through rice cultivation amounted to almost 13.07 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent. The figure peaked in the decade in 2016 at around 13.58 million metric tons, but generally, it has fluctuated without significant change over the decade. In Japan, rice cultivation is practiced mainly on intermittently flooded paddy fields, which provide favorable conditions for the generation of methane.
