India vs United States of America: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- India
- United States of America
How they compare
India currently reports 8.28 Mt CO2e against 5.54 Mt CO2e in United States of America, a difference of 2.74 Mt CO2e.
That makes India's figure about 1.5 times United States of America's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was United States of America ahead.
India ranks 2nd and United States of America ranks 3rd of 197 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, India averaged higher in 3 and United States of America in 3.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | India | United States of America | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 3.14 Mt CO2e | 6.46 Mt CO2e | 3.31 Mt CO2e | United States of America |
| 1980s | 4.42 Mt CO2e | 6.58 Mt CO2e | 2.17 Mt CO2e | United States of America |
| 1990s | 6.09 Mt CO2e | 6.49 Mt CO2e | 0.3982 Mt CO2e | United States of America |
| 2000s | 6.84 Mt CO2e | 6.41 Mt CO2e | 0.4332 Mt CO2e | India |
| 2010s | 7.8 Mt CO2e | 6.42 Mt CO2e | 1.37 Mt CO2e | India |
| 2020s | 8.04 Mt CO2e | 5.62 Mt CO2e | 2.43 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).
