Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Australia
- South Asia
How they compare
South Asia currently reports 6.07 Mt CO2e against 0.2347 Mt CO2e in Australia, a difference of 5.84 Mt CO2e.
That makes South Asia's figure about 25.9 times Australia's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, South Asia has been ahead every year.
Australia ranks 15th and South Asia ranks 14th of 193 countries.
South Asia 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 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).
