Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- South Korea
- Vietnam
How they compare
Vietnam currently reports 5.36 Mt CO2e against 2.83 Mt CO2e in South Korea, a difference of 2.53 Mt CO2e.
That makes Vietnam's figure about 1.9 times South Korea's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was South Korea ahead.
South Korea ranks 6th and Vietnam ranks 4th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, South Korea averaged higher in 5 and Vietnam in 1.
Head to head by 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).
