Australia vs Germany: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Australia
- Germany
How they compare
Australia currently reports 1.64 Mt CO2e against 1.31 Mt CO2e in Germany, a difference of 0.33 Mt CO2e.
That makes Australia's figure about 1.3 times Germany's.
The two have swapped places 7 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Germany ahead.
Australia ranks 11th and Germany ranks 14th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Australia averaged higher in 1 and Germany in 5.

| Decade | Australia | Germany | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.5388 Mt CO2e | 1.53 Mt CO2e | 0.9877 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 1980s | 0.8034 Mt CO2e | 1.77 Mt CO2e | 0.9688 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 1990s | 1.84 Mt CO2e | 2.22 Mt CO2e | 0.3806 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 2000s | 1.72 Mt CO2e | 1.76 Mt CO2e | 0.0348 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 2010s | 1.39 Mt CO2e | 1.51 Mt CO2e | 0.1182 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 2020s | 1.54 Mt CO2e | 1.35 Mt CO2e | 0.1959 Mt CO2e | Australia |
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 the transportation sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.3.a Civil Aviation, 1.A.3.b_noRES Road Transportation no resuspension, 1.A.3.c Railways, 1.A.3.d Water-borne Navigation, 1.A.3.e Other Transportation. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
