Germany vs Japan: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- Germany
- Japan
How they compare
Germany currently reports 1.04 Mt CO2e against 0.9263 Mt CO2e in Japan, a difference of 0.1137 Mt CO2e.
That makes Germany's figure about 1.1 times Japan's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Germany ahead.
Germany ranks 17th and Japan ranks 19th of 197 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Germany averaged higher in 2 and Japan in 4.

| Decade | Germany | Japan | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 1.16 Mt CO2e | 0.5827 Mt CO2e | 0.5799 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 1980s | 1.39 Mt CO2e | 1.88 Mt CO2e | 0.4836 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1990s | 1.01 Mt CO2e | 1.1 Mt CO2e | 0.0888 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2000s | 0.4763 Mt CO2e | 1.22 Mt CO2e | 0.7402 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2010s | 0.6453 Mt CO2e | 1.05 Mt CO2e | 0.4064 Mt CO2e | Japan |

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).
