China vs IBRD only: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- China
- IBRD only
How they compare
IBRD only currently reports 116.52 Mt CO2e against 64.79 Mt CO2e in China, a difference of 51.73 Mt CO2e.
That makes IBRD only's figure about 1.8 times China's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, IBRD only has been ahead every year.
China ranks 1st and IBRD only ranks 3rd of 194 countries.
IBRD only has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | China | IBRD only | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 1.31 Mt CO2e | 5.91 Mt CO2e | 4.61 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 1980s | 2.33 Mt CO2e | 8.44 Mt CO2e | 6.11 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 1990s | 6.11 Mt CO2e | 14.24 Mt CO2e | 8.13 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 2000s | 20.73 Mt CO2e | 35.47 Mt CO2e | 14.75 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 2010s | 38.54 Mt CO2e | 72.38 Mt CO2e | 33.84 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 2020s | 59.87 Mt CO2e | 106.2 Mt CO2e | 46.33 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
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 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).
