- Indonesia
- South Korea
How they compare
South Korea currently reports 2.83 Mt CO2e against 2.52 Mt CO2e in Indonesia, a difference of 0.31 Mt CO2e.
That makes South Korea's figure about 1.1 times Indonesia's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, South Korea has been ahead every year.
Indonesia ranks 9th and South Korea ranks 6th of 194 countries.
South Korea 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).
