Australia vs Sweden: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Australia
- Sweden
How they compare
Sweden currently reports 0.2663 Mt CO2e against 0.2347 Mt CO2e in Australia, a difference of 0.0316 Mt CO2e.
That makes Sweden's figure about 1.1 times Australia's.
The two have swapped places 15 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Australia ahead.
Australia ranks 15th and Sweden ranks 13th of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Australia averaged higher in 2 and Sweden in 4.

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).
