Canada vs Iran: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Canada
- Iran
How they compare
Iran currently reports 4.51 Mt CO2e against 2.07 Mt CO2e in Canada, a difference of 2.44 Mt CO2e.
That makes Iran's figure about 2.2 times Canada's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Canada ahead.
Canada ranks 7th and Iran ranks 4th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Canada averaged higher in 4 and Iran in 2.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Canada | Iran | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 1.59 Mt CO2e | 0.1429 Mt CO2e | 1.45 Mt CO2e | Canada |
| 1980s | 1.68 Mt CO2e | 0.2797 Mt CO2e | 1.4 Mt CO2e | Canada |
| 1990s | 1.73 Mt CO2e | 0.6825 Mt CO2e | 1.04 Mt CO2e | Canada |
| 2000s | 2.16 Mt CO2e | 1.27 Mt CO2e | 0.8883 Mt CO2e | Canada |
| 2010s | 2.18 Mt CO2e | 3.72 Mt CO2e | 1.54 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 2020s | 2.02 Mt CO2e | 4.36 Mt CO2e | 2.34 Mt CO2e | Iran |
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).
