Australia vs Japan: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Australia
- Japan
How they compare
Japan currently reports 1.83 Mt CO2e against 1.64 Mt CO2e in Australia, a difference of 0.19 Mt CO2e.
That makes Japan's figure about 1.1 times Australia's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Japan has been ahead every year.
Australia ranks 11th and Japan ranks 8th of 194 countries.
Japan has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
