Australia vs Ethiopia: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- Australia
- Ethiopia
How they compare
Ethiopia currently reports 2.63 Mt CO2e against 1.73 Mt CO2e in Australia, a difference of 0.9 Mt CO2e.
That makes Ethiopia's figure about 1.5 times Australia's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Australia ahead.
Australia ranks 7th and Ethiopia ranks 5th of 197 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Australia averaged higher in 2 and Ethiopia in 4.

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).
