Canada vs Japan: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Canada
- Japan
How they compare
Japan currently reports 0.4405 Mt CO2e against 0.3243 Mt CO2e in Canada, a difference of 0.1162 Mt CO2e.
That makes Japan's figure about 1.4 times Canada's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Japan ahead.
Canada ranks 11th and Japan ranks 9th of 193 countries.
Japan has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Canada | Japan | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.3875 Mt CO2e | 0.48 Mt CO2e | 0.0925 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1980s | 0.3886 Mt CO2e | 0.5084 Mt CO2e | 0.1198 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1990s | 0.4127 Mt CO2e | 0.5757 Mt CO2e | 0.163 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2000s | 0.473 Mt CO2e | 0.5444 Mt CO2e | 0.0715 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2010s | 0.3674 Mt CO2e | 0.5157 Mt CO2e | 0.1483 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2020s | 0.3378 Mt CO2e | 0.4567 Mt CO2e | 0.1188 Mt CO2e | Japan |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

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).
