Russian Federation vs United States of America: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- Russian Federation
- United States of America
How they compare
United States of America currently reports 5.54 Mt CO2e against 2.02 Mt CO2e in Russian Federation, a difference of 3.52 Mt CO2e.
That makes United States of America's figure about 2.7 times Russian Federation's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was United States of America ahead.
Russian Federation ranks 6th and United States of America ranks 3rd of 197 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Russian Federation averaged higher in 1 and United States of America in 5.

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).
