Japan vs Russian Federation: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- Japan
- Russian Federation
How they compare
Japan currently reports 2.63 Mt CO2e against 2.01 Mt CO2e in Russian Federation, a difference of 0.62 Mt CO2e.
That makes Japan's figure about 1.3 times Russian Federation's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Russian Federation ahead.
Japan ranks 7th and Russian Federation ranks 10th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Japan averaged higher in 3 and Russian Federation in 3.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Japan | Russian Federation | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.4427 Mt CO2e | 1.48 Mt CO2e | 1.04 Mt CO2e | Russian Federation |
| 1980s | 0.5844 Mt CO2e | 1.78 Mt CO2e | 1.19 Mt CO2e | Russian Federation |
| 1990s | 1.18 Mt CO2e | 1.85 Mt CO2e | 0.6739 Mt CO2e | Russian Federation |
| 2000s | 2.63 Mt CO2e | 1.59 Mt CO2e | 1.04 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2010s | 2.65 Mt CO2e | 1.6 Mt CO2e | 1.04 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2020s | 2.73 Mt CO2e | 1.86 Mt CO2e | 0.8671 Mt CO2e | Japan |
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).
