Canada vs Mexico: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- Canada
- Mexico
How they compare
Mexico currently reports 0.2327 Mt CO2e against 0.2154 Mt CO2e in Canada, a difference of 0.0173 Mt CO2e.
That makes Mexico's figure about 1.1 times Canada's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Canada ahead.
Canada ranks 36th and Mexico ranks 35th of 195 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Canada averaged higher in 5 and Mexico in 1.

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).
