South Africa vs Thailand: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- South Africa
- Thailand
How they compare
Thailand currently reports 1.51 Mt CO2e against 0.9292 Mt CO2e in South Africa, a difference of 0.5808 Mt CO2e.
That makes Thailand's figure about 1.6 times South Africa's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was South Africa ahead.
South Africa ranks 15th and Thailand ranks 12th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, South Africa averaged higher in 4 and Thailand in 2.

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).
