Japan vs Viet Nam: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- Japan
- Viet Nam
How they compare
Viet Nam currently reports 5.36 Mt CO2e against 2.63 Mt CO2e in Japan, a difference of 2.73 Mt CO2e.
That makes Viet Nam's figure about 2.0 times Japan's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Japan ahead.
Japan ranks 7th and Viet Nam ranks 4th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Japan averaged higher in 5 and Viet Nam in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Japan | Viet Nam | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.4427 Mt CO2e | 0.0093 Mt CO2e | 0.4334 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1980s | 0.5844 Mt CO2e | 0.0176 Mt CO2e | 0.5668 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1990s | 1.18 Mt CO2e | 0.0155 Mt CO2e | 1.16 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2000s | 2.63 Mt CO2e | 0.1116 Mt CO2e | 2.52 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2010s | 2.65 Mt CO2e | 2.08 Mt CO2e | 0.564 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2020s | 2.73 Mt CO2e | 4.31 Mt CO2e | 1.58 Mt CO2e | Viet Nam |
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).
