Iran vs Russian Federation: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Iran
- Russian Federation
How they compare
Iran currently reports 4.51 Mt CO2e against 3.57 Mt CO2e in Russian Federation, a difference of 0.94 Mt CO2e.
That makes Iran's figure about 1.3 times Russian Federation's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Russian Federation ahead.
Iran ranks 4th and Russian Federation ranks 6th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Iran averaged higher in 2 and Russian Federation in 4.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Iran | Russian Federation | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.1429 Mt CO2e | 4 Mt CO2e | 3.85 Mt CO2e | Russian Federation |
| 1980s | 0.2797 Mt CO2e | 4.96 Mt CO2e | 4.68 Mt CO2e | Russian Federation |
| 1990s | 0.6825 Mt CO2e | 2.5 Mt CO2e | 1.81 Mt CO2e | Russian Federation |
| 2000s | 1.27 Mt CO2e | 2.46 Mt CO2e | 1.19 Mt CO2e | Russian Federation |
| 2010s | 3.72 Mt CO2e | 2.4 Mt CO2e | 1.33 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 2020s | 4.36 Mt CO2e | 3.25 Mt CO2e | 1.11 Mt CO2e | Iran |
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).
