Japan vs Russia: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Japan
- Russia
How they compare
Russia currently reports 3.57 Mt CO2e against 1.83 Mt CO2e in Japan, a difference of 1.74 Mt CO2e.
That makes Russia's figure about 2.0 times Japan's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Russia ahead.
Japan ranks 8th and Russia ranks 6th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Japan averaged higher in 2 and Russia in 4.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Japan | Russia | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 1.76 Mt CO2e | 4 Mt CO2e | 2.23 Mt CO2e | Russia |
| 1980s | 2.19 Mt CO2e | 4.96 Mt CO2e | 2.77 Mt CO2e | Russia |
| 1990s | 6.94 Mt CO2e | 2.5 Mt CO2e | 4.44 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2000s | 4.07 Mt CO2e | 2.46 Mt CO2e | 1.61 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2010s | 2.18 Mt CO2e | 2.4 Mt CO2e | 0.2181 Mt CO2e | Russia |
| 2020s | 1.89 Mt CO2e | 3.25 Mt CO2e | 1.36 Mt CO2e | Russia |
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).
