Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Japan
- Small states
How they compare
Japan currently reports 0.0219 Mt CO2e against 0.0174 Mt CO2e in Small states, a difference of 0.0045 Mt CO2e.
That makes Japan's figure about 1.3 times Small states's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Japan has been ahead every year.
Japan ranks 44th and Small states ranks 42nd of 187 countries.
Japan 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).
