Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Italy
- Spain
How they compare
Italy currently reports 0.0117 Mt CO2e against 0.0104 Mt CO2e in Spain, a difference of 0.0013 Mt CO2e.
That makes Italy's figure about 1.1 times Spain's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Italy ahead.
Italy ranks 62nd and Spain ranks 64th of 187 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Italy averaged higher in 5 and Spain 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).
