Japan vs Russia: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Japan
- Russia
How they compare
Russia currently reports 0.6631 Mt CO2e against 0.4405 Mt CO2e in Japan, a difference of 0.2226 Mt CO2e.
That makes Russia's figure about 1.5 times Japan's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Japan ahead.
Japan ranks 9th and Russia ranks 7th of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Japan averaged higher in 5 and Russia in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Japan | Russia | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.48 Mt CO2e | 0.3623 Mt CO2e | 0.1177 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1980s | 0.5084 Mt CO2e | 0.3665 Mt CO2e | 0.1419 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1990s | 0.5757 Mt CO2e | 0.2037 Mt CO2e | 0.372 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2000s | 0.5444 Mt CO2e | 0.1403 Mt CO2e | 0.4041 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2010s | 0.5157 Mt CO2e | 0.3722 Mt CO2e | 0.1435 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2020s | 0.4567 Mt CO2e | 0.6355 Mt CO2e | 0.1788 Mt CO2e | Russia |
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).
