Japan vs Lower middle income: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Japan
- Lower middle income
How they compare
Lower middle income currently reports 7.1 Mt CO2e against 0.4405 Mt CO2e in Japan, a difference of 6.66 Mt CO2e.
That makes Lower middle income's figure about 16.1 times Japan's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Lower middle income has been ahead every year.
Japan ranks 9th and Lower middle income ranks 12th of 193 countries.
Lower middle income 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).
