Russian Federation vs United States of America: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Russian Federation
- United States of America
How they compare
United States of America currently reports 0.3089 Mt CO2e against 0.2576 Mt CO2e in Russian Federation, a difference of 0.0513 Mt CO2e.
That makes United States of America's figure about 1.2 times Russian Federation's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was United States of America ahead.
Russian Federation ranks 4th and United States of America ranks 3rd of 187 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Russian Federation averaged higher in 2 and United States of America in 4.

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).
