China vs Euro area: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- China
- Euro area
How they compare
China currently reports 0.9269 Mt CO2e against 0.0755 Mt CO2e in Euro area, a difference of 0.8514 Mt CO2e.
That makes China's figure about 12.3 times Euro area's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Euro area ahead.
China ranks 1st and Euro area ranks 2nd of 187 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, China averaged higher in 5 and Euro area in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | China | Euro area | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.1458 Mt CO2e | 0.2023 Mt CO2e | 0.0564 Mt CO2e | Euro area |
| 1980s | 0.2762 Mt CO2e | 0.1542 Mt CO2e | 0.122 Mt CO2e | China |
| 1990s | 0.4916 Mt CO2e | 0.1421 Mt CO2e | 0.3494 Mt CO2e | China |
| 2000s | 0.7488 Mt CO2e | 0.131 Mt CO2e | 0.6178 Mt CO2e | China |
| 2010s | 1.06 Mt CO2e | 0.0944 Mt CO2e | 0.9654 Mt CO2e | China |
| 2020s | 0.8524 Mt CO2e | 0.0759 Mt CO2e | 0.7765 Mt CO2e | China |
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).
