New Zealand vs Norway: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- New Zealand
- Norway
How they compare
Norway currently reports 0.031 Mt CO2e against 0.0291 Mt CO2e in New Zealand, a difference of 0.0019 Mt CO2e.
That makes Norway's figure about 1.1 times New Zealand's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Norway ahead.
New Zealand ranks 58th and Norway ranks 57th of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, New Zealand averaged higher in 2 and Norway in 4.

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).
