Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Finland
- South Korea
How they compare
South Korea currently reports 0.2036 Mt CO2e against 0.1886 Mt CO2e in Finland, a difference of 0.015 Mt CO2e.
That makes South Korea's figure about 1.1 times Finland's.
The two have swapped places 7 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Finland ahead.
Finland ranks 19th and South Korea ranks 17th of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Finland averaged higher in 1 and South Korea in 5.

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).
