Belgium vs Netherlands: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Belgium
- Netherlands
How they compare
Belgium currently reports 0.2274 Mt CO2e against 0.213 Mt CO2e in Netherlands, a difference of 0.0144 Mt CO2e.
That makes Belgium's figure about 1.1 times Netherlands's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Netherlands ahead.
Belgium ranks 42nd and Netherlands ranks 44th of 194 countries.
Netherlands 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).
