China vs Russian Federation: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- China
- Russian Federation
How they compare
China currently reports 0.9269 Mt CO2e against 0.2576 Mt CO2e in Russian Federation, a difference of 0.6693 Mt CO2e.
That makes China's figure about 3.6 times Russian Federation's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was China ahead.
China ranks 1st and Russian Federation ranks 4th of 187 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, China averaged higher in 5 and Russian Federation in 1.

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).
