Indonesia vs South Africa: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- Indonesia
- South Africa
How they compare
South Africa currently reports 0.4027 Mt CO2e against 0.3832 Mt CO2e in Indonesia, a difference of 0.0195 Mt CO2e.
That makes South Africa's figure about 1.1 times Indonesia's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Indonesia ahead.
Indonesia ranks 32nd and South Africa ranks 31st of 197 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Indonesia averaged higher in 5 and South Africa in 1.

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).
