Korea vs Mexico: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Korea
- Mexico
How they compare
Korea currently reports 1.64 Mt CO2e against 1.33 Mt CO2e in Mexico, a difference of 0.31 Mt CO2e.
That makes Korea's figure about 1.2 times Mexico's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Mexico ahead.
Korea ranks 12th and Mexico ranks 13th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Korea averaged higher in 1 and Mexico in 5.

| Decade | Korea | Mexico | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.04 Mt CO2e | 0.2432 Mt CO2e | 0.2033 Mt CO2e | Mexico |
| 1980s | 0.3506 Mt CO2e | 0.5907 Mt CO2e | 0.2401 Mt CO2e | Mexico |
| 1990s | 1.67 Mt CO2e | 1.69 Mt CO2e | 0.0176 Mt CO2e | Mexico |
| 2000s | 1.41 Mt CO2e | 1.68 Mt CO2e | 0.2707 Mt CO2e | Mexico |
| 2010s | 1.38 Mt CO2e | 1.59 Mt CO2e | 0.2145 Mt CO2e | Mexico |
| 2020s | 1.56 Mt CO2e | 1.24 Mt CO2e | 0.3251 Mt CO2e | Korea |
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).
