France vs Korea: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- France
- Korea
How they compare
Korea currently reports 1.64 Mt CO2e against 1.14 Mt CO2e in France, a difference of 0.5 Mt CO2e.
That makes Korea's figure about 1.4 times France's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was France ahead.
France ranks 15th and Korea ranks 12th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, France averaged higher in 2 and Korea in 4.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | France | Korea | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.8839 Mt CO2e | 0.04 Mt CO2e | 0.8439 Mt CO2e | France |
| 1980s | 1.01 Mt CO2e | 0.3506 Mt CO2e | 0.6643 Mt CO2e | France |
| 1990s | 1.14 Mt CO2e | 1.67 Mt CO2e | 0.5337 Mt CO2e | Korea |
| 2000s | 1.16 Mt CO2e | 1.41 Mt CO2e | 0.2404 Mt CO2e | Korea |
| 2010s | 1.23 Mt CO2e | 1.38 Mt CO2e | 0.15 Mt CO2e | Korea |
| 2020s | 1.13 Mt CO2e | 1.56 Mt CO2e | 0.4276 Mt CO2e | Korea |
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).
