Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Japan
- Middle income
How they compare
Middle income currently reports 56.84 Mt CO2e against 1.83 Mt CO2e in Japan, a difference of 55.01 Mt CO2e.
That makes Middle income's figure about 31.0 times Japan's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Middle income has been ahead every year.
Japan ranks 8th and Middle income ranks 5th of 194 countries.
Middle income 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).
