Argentina vs Australia: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste over time
- Argentina
- Australia
How they compare
Australia currently reports 1.03 Mt CO2e against 0.9712 Mt CO2e in Argentina, a difference of 0.0588 Mt CO2e.
That makes Australia's figure about 1.1 times Argentina's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Argentina ahead.
Argentina ranks 27th and Australia ranks 26th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Argentina averaged higher in 4 and Australia in 2.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the waste sector. This includes emissions from solid waste (IPCC 2006 codes 4.A Solid Waste Disposal, 4.B Biological Treatment of Solid Waste, 4.C Incineration and Open Burning of Waste) and wastewater treatment (IPCC 2006 code 4.D Wastewater Treatment and Discharge). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
