Germany vs Russia: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) (Mt CO2e)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) (Mt CO2e) over time
- Germany
- Russia
How they compare
Russia currently reports 2.01 Mt CO2e against 1.32 Mt CO2e in Germany, a difference of 0.69 Mt CO2e.
That makes Russia's figure about 1.5 times Germany's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Germany ahead.
Germany ranks 13th and Russia ranks 10th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Germany averaged higher in 5 and Russia 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).
