Euro area vs India: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Euro area
- India
How they compare
India currently reports 5.84 Mt CO2e against 1.15 Mt CO2e in Euro area, a difference of 4.69 Mt CO2e.
That makes India's figure about 5.1 times Euro area's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Euro area ahead.
Euro area ranks 2nd and India ranks 1st of 2 groups.
Across the 6 decades both report, Euro area averaged higher in 2 and India in 4.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Euro area | India | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 1.42 Mt CO2e | 1.1 Mt CO2e | 0.3166 Mt CO2e | Euro area |
| 1980s | 1.31 Mt CO2e | 1.23 Mt CO2e | 0.0776 Mt CO2e | Euro area |
| 1990s | 1.11 Mt CO2e | 1.56 Mt CO2e | 0.4452 Mt CO2e | India |
| 2000s | 1.09 Mt CO2e | 2.2 Mt CO2e | 1.11 Mt CO2e | India |
| 2010s | 1.13 Mt CO2e | 3.82 Mt CO2e | 2.69 Mt CO2e | India |
| 2020s | 1.16 Mt CO2e | 5.35 Mt CO2e | 4.18 Mt CO2e | India |
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).
