Canada vs Russian Federation: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Canada
- Russian Federation
How they compare
Russian Federation currently reports 3.57 Mt CO2e against 2.07 Mt CO2e in Canada, a difference of 1.5 Mt CO2e.
That makes Russian Federation's figure about 1.7 times Canada's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Russian Federation ahead.
Canada ranks 7th and Russian Federation ranks 6th of 194 countries.
Russian Federation has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Canada | Russian Federation | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 1.59 Mt CO2e | 4 Mt CO2e | 2.4 Mt CO2e | Russian Federation |
| 1980s | 1.68 Mt CO2e | 4.96 Mt CO2e | 3.28 Mt CO2e | Russian Federation |
| 1990s | 1.73 Mt CO2e | 2.5 Mt CO2e | 0.7697 Mt CO2e | Russian Federation |
| 2000s | 2.16 Mt CO2e | 2.46 Mt CO2e | 0.3007 Mt CO2e | Russian Federation |
| 2010s | 2.18 Mt CO2e | 2.4 Mt CO2e | 0.2124 Mt CO2e | Russian Federation |
| 2020s | 2.02 Mt CO2e | 3.25 Mt CO2e | 1.24 Mt CO2e | Russian Federation |
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).
