Australia vs Nigeria: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Australia
- Nigeria
How they compare
Australia currently reports 0.2347 Mt CO2e against 0.208 Mt CO2e in Nigeria, a difference of 0.0267 Mt CO2e.
That makes Australia's figure about 1.1 times Nigeria's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Australia ahead.
Australia ranks 15th and Nigeria ranks 16th of 193 countries.
Australia has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Australia | Nigeria | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.196 Mt CO2e | 0.028 Mt CO2e | 0.168 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 1980s | 0.1862 Mt CO2e | 0.0302 Mt CO2e | 0.1559 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 1990s | 0.2117 Mt CO2e | 0.0521 Mt CO2e | 0.1596 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 2000s | 0.2039 Mt CO2e | 0.1524 Mt CO2e | 0.0515 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 2010s | 0.255 Mt CO2e | 0.2387 Mt CO2e | 0.0163 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 2020s | 0.2305 Mt CO2e | 0.2063 Mt CO2e | 0.0242 Mt CO2e | Australia |

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).
