Australia vs Canada: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- Australia
- Canada
How they compare
Australia currently reports 1.73 Mt CO2e against 1.4 Mt CO2e in Canada, a difference of 0.33 Mt CO2e.
That makes Australia's figure about 1.2 times Canada's.
The two have swapped places 8 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Australia ahead.
Australia ranks 7th and Canada ranks 9th of 197 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Australia averaged higher in 2 and Canada in 4.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Australia | Canada | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.3798 Mt CO2e | 0.4674 Mt CO2e | 0.0876 Mt CO2e | Canada |
| 1980s | 0.4651 Mt CO2e | 0.6705 Mt CO2e | 0.2055 Mt CO2e | Canada |
| 1990s | 0.5779 Mt CO2e | 0.9426 Mt CO2e | 0.3647 Mt CO2e | Canada |
| 2000s | 0.9631 Mt CO2e | 0.9948 Mt CO2e | 0.0317 Mt CO2e | Canada |
| 2010s | 1.38 Mt CO2e | 1.32 Mt CO2e | 0.0681 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 2020s | 1.65 Mt CO2e | 1.39 Mt CO2e | 0.2649 Mt CO2e | Australia |
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 building sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.4 Residential and other sectors, 1.A.5 Non-Specified. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
