Australia vs Japan: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Australia
- Japan
How they compare
Australia currently reports 0.0231 Mt CO2e against 0.0219 Mt CO2e in Japan, a difference of 0.0012 Mt CO2e.
That makes Australia's figure about 1.1 times Japan's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Japan ahead.
Australia ranks 41st and Japan ranks 44th of 187 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Australia averaged higher in 1 and Japan in 5.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from fugitive emissions (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.1.bc Petroleum Refining - Manufacture of Solid Fuels and Other Energy Industries, 1.B.1 Solid Fuels, 1.B.2 Oil and Natural Gas, 5.B. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
