India vs World: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- India
- World
How they compare
World currently reports 111.42 Mt CO2e against 7.48 Mt CO2e in India, a difference of 103.94 Mt CO2e.
That makes World's figure about 14.9 times India's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, World has been ahead every year.
India ranks 3rd and World ranks 1st of 194 countries.
World has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | India | World | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 1.04 Mt CO2e | 39.95 Mt CO2e | 38.91 Mt CO2e | World |
| 1980s | 1.57 Mt CO2e | 47.85 Mt CO2e | 46.28 Mt CO2e | World |
| 1990s | 2.46 Mt CO2e | 66.27 Mt CO2e | 63.81 Mt CO2e | World |
| 2000s | 3.14 Mt CO2e | 85.29 Mt CO2e | 82.15 Mt CO2e | World |
| 2010s | 6.02 Mt CO2e | 100.97 Mt CO2e | 94.95 Mt CO2e | World |
| 2020s | 6.72 Mt CO2e | 105.53 Mt CO2e | 98.81 Mt CO2e | World |
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).
