Iceland vs Palau: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Iceland
- Palau
How they compare
Palau currently reports 0.01 Mt CO2e against 0.0092 Mt CO2e in Iceland, a difference of 0.0008 Mt CO2e.
That makes Palau's figure about 1.1 times Iceland's.
The two have swapped places 8 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Palau ahead.
Iceland ranks 150th and Palau ranks 147th of 194 countries.
Palau 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).
