Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Australia
- Republic of Korea
How they compare
Australia currently reports 0.2347 Mt CO2e against 0.2036 Mt CO2e in Republic of Korea, a difference of 0.0311 Mt CO2e.
That makes Australia's figure about 1.2 times Republic of Korea's.
The two have swapped places 6 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Australia ahead.
Australia ranks 15th and Republic of Korea ranks 17th of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Australia averaged higher in 4 and Republic of Korea in 2.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from industrial combustion (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.2 Manufacturing Industries and Construction. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
