India vs World: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- India
- World
How they compare
World currently reports 25.81 Mt CO2e against 5.84 Mt CO2e in India, a difference of 19.97 Mt CO2e.
That makes World's figure about 4.4 times India's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, World has been ahead every year.
India ranks 1st and World ranks 1st of 193 countries.
World has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | India | World | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 1.1 Mt CO2e | 13.18 Mt CO2e | 12.08 Mt CO2e | World |
| 1980s | 1.23 Mt CO2e | 14.96 Mt CO2e | 13.73 Mt CO2e | World |
| 1990s | 1.56 Mt CO2e | 15.11 Mt CO2e | 13.55 Mt CO2e | World |
| 2000s | 2.2 Mt CO2e | 19.71 Mt CO2e | 17.51 Mt CO2e | World |
| 2010s | 3.82 Mt CO2e | 25.42 Mt CO2e | 21.6 Mt CO2e | World |
| 2020s | 5.35 Mt CO2e | 25.1 Mt CO2e | 19.76 Mt CO2e | World |
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).
