Canada vs Japan: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Canada
- Japan
How they compare
Canada currently reports 2.07 Mt CO2e against 1.83 Mt CO2e in Japan, a difference of 0.24 Mt CO2e.
That makes Canada's figure about 1.1 times Japan's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Japan ahead.
Canada ranks 7th and Japan ranks 8th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Canada averaged higher in 2 and Japan in 4.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Canada | Japan | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 1.59 Mt CO2e | 1.76 Mt CO2e | 0.1716 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1980s | 1.68 Mt CO2e | 2.19 Mt CO2e | 0.5097 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1990s | 1.73 Mt CO2e | 6.94 Mt CO2e | 5.21 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2000s | 2.16 Mt CO2e | 4.07 Mt CO2e | 1.92 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2010s | 2.18 Mt CO2e | 2.18 Mt CO2e | 0.0058 Mt CO2e | Canada |
| 2020s | 2.02 Mt CO2e | 1.89 Mt CO2e | 0.1267 Mt CO2e | Canada |
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).
