Australia vs Thailand: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste over time
- Australia
- Thailand
How they compare
Australia currently reports 1.03 Mt CO2e against 0.9187 Mt CO2e in Thailand, a difference of 0.1113 Mt CO2e.
That makes Australia's figure about 1.1 times Thailand's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Thailand ahead.
Australia ranks 26th and Thailand ranks 28th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Australia averaged higher in 2 and Thailand in 4.

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).
