Japan vs Vietnam: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Japan
- Vietnam
How they compare
Vietnam currently reports 0.6834 Mt CO2e against 0.4405 Mt CO2e in Japan, a difference of 0.2429 Mt CO2e.
That makes Vietnam's figure about 1.6 times Japan's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Japan ahead.
Japan ranks 9th and Vietnam ranks 6th of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Japan averaged higher in 5 and Vietnam in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Japan | Vietnam | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.48 Mt CO2e | 0.097 Mt CO2e | 0.3831 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1980s | 0.5084 Mt CO2e | 0.1419 Mt CO2e | 0.3665 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1990s | 0.5757 Mt CO2e | 0.1733 Mt CO2e | 0.4023 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2000s | 0.5444 Mt CO2e | 0.231 Mt CO2e | 0.3134 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2010s | 0.5157 Mt CO2e | 0.3344 Mt CO2e | 0.1813 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2020s | 0.4567 Mt CO2e | 0.6113 Mt CO2e | 0.1547 Mt CO2e | Vietnam |
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).
