European Union vs India: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- European Union
- India
How they compare
India currently reports 8.28 Mt CO2e against 7.01 Mt CO2e in European Union, a difference of 1.27 Mt CO2e.
That makes India's figure about 1.2 times European Union's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was European Union ahead.
European Union ranks 1st and India ranks 2nd of 2 regions.
Across the 6 decades both report, European Union averaged higher in 4 and India in 2.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | European Union | India | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 6.86 Mt CO2e | 3.14 Mt CO2e | 3.72 Mt CO2e | European Union |
| 1980s | 7.73 Mt CO2e | 4.42 Mt CO2e | 3.31 Mt CO2e | European Union |
| 1990s | 7.54 Mt CO2e | 6.09 Mt CO2e | 1.45 Mt CO2e | European Union |
| 2000s | 6.98 Mt CO2e | 6.84 Mt CO2e | 0.1365 Mt CO2e | European Union |
| 2010s | 6.77 Mt CO2e | 7.8 Mt CO2e | 1.03 Mt CO2e | India |
| 2020s | 7.24 Mt CO2e | 8.04 Mt CO2e | 0.8059 Mt CO2e | India |
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).
