Canada vs France: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- Canada
- France
How they compare
France currently reports 0.2394 Mt CO2e against 0.2154 Mt CO2e in Canada, a difference of 0.024 Mt CO2e.
That makes France's figure about 1.1 times Canada's.
The two have swapped places 6 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was France ahead.
Canada ranks 35th and France ranks 33rd of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Canada averaged higher in 4 and France in 2.

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).
