Australia vs Other small states: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Australia
- Other small states
How they compare
Australia currently reports 0.0231 Mt CO2e against 0.0124 Mt CO2e in Other small states, a difference of 0.0107 Mt CO2e.
That makes Australia's figure about 1.9 times Other small states's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Other small states ahead.
Australia ranks 41st and Other small states ranks 43rd of 187 countries.
Australia has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Australia | Other small states | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.0067 Mt CO2e | 0.006 Mt CO2e | 0.0007 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 1980s | 0.0131 Mt CO2e | 0.0025 Mt CO2e | 0.0106 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 1990s | 0.0176 Mt CO2e | 0.0055 Mt CO2e | 0.0121 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 2000s | 0.0165 Mt CO2e | 0.0076 Mt CO2e | 0.0089 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 2010s | 0.0221 Mt CO2e | 0.0092 Mt CO2e | 0.0129 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 2020s | 0.0247 Mt CO2e | 0.0125 Mt CO2e | 0.0122 Mt CO2e | Australia |
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 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).
