Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- Australia
- OECD members
How they compare
OECD members currently reports 22.35 Mt CO2e against 0.7165 Mt CO2e in Australia, a difference of 21.63 Mt CO2e.
That makes OECD members's figure about 31.2 times Australia's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, OECD members has been ahead every year.
Australia ranks 17th and OECD members ranks 16th of 194 countries.
OECD members 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 electricity and heat generation (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.1.a. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
