Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- China
- Low & middle income
How they compare
Low & middle income currently reports 4.89 Mt CO2e against 0.9269 Mt CO2e in China, a difference of 3.96 Mt CO2e.
That makes Low & middle income's figure about 5.3 times China's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Low & middle income has been ahead every year.
China ranks 1st and Low & middle income ranks 3rd of 187 countries.
Low & middle income has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
