Germany vs Japan: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Germany
- Japan
How they compare
Japan currently reports 0.4405 Mt CO2e against 0.2811 Mt CO2e in Germany, a difference of 0.1594 Mt CO2e.
That makes Japan's figure about 1.6 times Germany's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Germany ahead.
Germany ranks 12th and Japan ranks 9th of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Germany averaged higher in 1 and Japan 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).
