Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- Australia
- Russia
How they compare
Russia currently reports 2.02 Mt CO2e against 1.73 Mt CO2e in Australia, a difference of 0.29 Mt CO2e.
That makes Russia's figure about 1.2 times Australia's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Russia has been ahead every year.
Australia ranks 7th and Russia ranks 6th of 197 countries.
Russia has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
