- China
- Indonesia
How they compare
China currently reports 5.73 Mt CO2e against 1.01 Mt CO2e in Indonesia, a difference of 4.72 Mt CO2e.
That makes China's figure about 5.7 times Indonesia's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, China has been ahead every year.
China ranks 2nd and Indonesia ranks 5th of 193 countries.
China 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).
