France vs Germany: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- France
- Germany
How they compare
Germany currently reports 1.31 Mt CO2e against 1.14 Mt CO2e in France, a difference of 0.17 Mt CO2e.
That makes Germany's figure about 1.1 times France's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Germany has been ahead every year.
France ranks 16th and Germany ranks 15th of 195 countries.
Germany 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).
