Germany vs Indonesia: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Germany
- Indonesia
How they compare
Indonesia currently reports 5.08 Mt CO2e against 4.36 Mt CO2e in Germany, a difference of 0.72 Mt CO2e.
That makes Indonesia's figure about 1.2 times Germany's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Germany ahead.
Germany ranks 13th and Indonesia ranks 10th of 203 countries.
Germany has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Germany | Indonesia | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 33.59 Mt CO2e | 1.03 Mt CO2e | 32.56 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 1980s | 28.28 Mt CO2e | 1.85 Mt CO2e | 26.43 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 1990s | 24.33 Mt CO2e | 2.48 Mt CO2e | 21.84 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 2000s | 6.81 Mt CO2e | 3.35 Mt CO2e | 3.46 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 2010s | 4.86 Mt CO2e | 3.85 Mt CO2e | 1.01 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 2020s | 4.53 Mt CO2e | 4.47 Mt CO2e | 0.0592 Mt CO2e | Germany |
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 processes including IPCC 2006 codes 2.A.1 Cement production, 2.A.2 Lime production, 2.A.3 Glass Production, 2.A.4 Other Process Uses of Carbonates, 2.B Chemical Industry, 2.C Metal Industry, 2.D Non-Energy Products from Fuels and Solvent Use, 2.E Electronics Industry, 2.F Product Uses as Substitutes for Ozone Depleting Substances, 2.G Other Product Manufacture and Use and 5.A Indirect N2O emissions from the atmospheric deposition of nitrogen in NOx and NH3). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
