Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Ireland
- Norway
How they compare
Ireland currently reports 0.1211 Mt CO2e against 0.113 Mt CO2e in Norway, a difference of 0.0081 Mt CO2e.
That makes Ireland's figure about 1.1 times Norway's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Norway ahead.
Ireland ranks 69th and Norway ranks 71st of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Ireland averaged higher in 1 and Norway in 5.

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).
