Italy vs Japan: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- Italy
- Japan
How they compare
Japan currently reports 0.9263 Mt CO2e against 0.8747 Mt CO2e in Italy, a difference of 0.0516 Mt CO2e.
That makes Japan's figure about 1.1 times Italy's.
The two have swapped places 9 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Italy ahead.
Italy ranks 22nd and Japan ranks 19th of 197 countries.
Japan 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).
