- IDA total
- Korea
How they compare
IDA total currently reports 33.72 Mt CO2e against 2.68 Mt CO2e in Korea, a difference of 31.04 Mt CO2e.
That makes IDA total's figure about 12.6 times Korea's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, IDA total has been ahead every year.
IDA total ranks 19th and Korea ranks 22nd of 46 groups.
IDA total 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 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).
