France vs Mexico: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Agriculture
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Agriculture over time
- France
- Mexico
How they compare
Mexico currently reports 29.24 Mt CO2e against 23.1 Mt CO2e in France, a difference of 6.14 Mt CO2e.
That makes Mexico's figure about 1.3 times France's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was France ahead.
France ranks 14th and Mexico ranks 12th of 201 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, France averaged higher in 5 and Mexico in 1.

| Decade | France | Mexico | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 27.81 Mt CO2e | 16.9 Mt CO2e | 10.91 Mt CO2e | France |
| 1980s | 31.58 Mt CO2e | 23.5 Mt CO2e | 8.08 Mt CO2e | France |
| 1990s | 30.62 Mt CO2e | 24.22 Mt CO2e | 6.4 Mt CO2e | France |
| 2000s | 29.39 Mt CO2e | 24.77 Mt CO2e | 4.61 Mt CO2e | France |
| 2010s | 28.32 Mt CO2e | 27.57 Mt CO2e | 0.7535 Mt CO2e | France |
| 2020s | 24.38 Mt CO2e | 29.66 Mt CO2e | 5.28 Mt CO2e | Mexico |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agricultural sector. This includes emissions from livestock (IPCC 2006 codes 3.A.1 (enteric fermentation, 3.a.2 (manure management) and crops (IPCC 2006 codes 3.C.1 Emissions from biomass burning, 3.C.2 Liming, 3.C.3 Urea application, 3.C.4 Direct N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.5 Indirect N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.6 Indirect N2O Emissions from manure management, 3.C.7 Rice cultivations). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
