Germany vs Korea: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Germany
- Korea
How they compare
Korea currently reports 1.64 Mt CO2e against 1.31 Mt CO2e in Germany, a difference of 0.33 Mt CO2e.
That makes Korea's figure about 1.3 times Germany's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Germany ahead.
Germany ranks 15th and Korea ranks 13th of 195 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Germany averaged higher in 5 and Korea in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Germany | Korea | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 1.53 Mt CO2e | 0.04 Mt CO2e | 1.49 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 1980s | 1.77 Mt CO2e | 0.3506 Mt CO2e | 1.42 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 1990s | 2.22 Mt CO2e | 1.67 Mt CO2e | 0.5494 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 2000s | 1.76 Mt CO2e | 1.41 Mt CO2e | 0.3523 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 2010s | 1.51 Mt CO2e | 1.38 Mt CO2e | 0.1285 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 2020s | 1.35 Mt CO2e | 1.56 Mt CO2e | 0.2167 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).
