China vs European Union: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- China
- European Union
How they compare
China currently reports 0.9269 Mt CO2e against 0.0943 Mt CO2e in European Union, a difference of 0.8326 Mt CO2e.
That makes China's figure about 9.8 times European Union's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was European Union ahead.
China ranks 1st and European Union ranks 1st of 187 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, China averaged higher in 5 and European Union in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | China | European Union | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.1458 Mt CO2e | 0.2225 Mt CO2e | 0.0766 Mt CO2e | European Union |
| 1980s | 0.2762 Mt CO2e | 0.1783 Mt CO2e | 0.0978 Mt CO2e | China |
| 1990s | 0.4916 Mt CO2e | 0.1803 Mt CO2e | 0.3113 Mt CO2e | China |
| 2000s | 0.7488 Mt CO2e | 0.1613 Mt CO2e | 0.5875 Mt CO2e | China |
| 2010s | 1.06 Mt CO2e | 0.1172 Mt CO2e | 0.9426 Mt CO2e | China |
| 2020s | 0.8524 Mt CO2e | 0.0955 Mt CO2e | 0.7569 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).
