Russian Federation vs South Africa: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Russian Federation
- South Africa
How they compare
Russian Federation currently reports 0.2576 Mt CO2e against 0.2275 Mt CO2e in South Africa, a difference of 0.0301 Mt CO2e.
That makes Russian Federation's figure about 1.1 times South Africa's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Russian Federation ahead.
Russian Federation ranks 4th and South Africa ranks 5th of 187 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Russian Federation averaged higher in 5 and South Africa 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).
