Germany vs Mexico: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste over time
- Germany
- Mexico
How they compare
Mexico currently reports 2.41 Mt CO2e against 2.25 Mt CO2e in Germany, a difference of 0.16 Mt CO2e.
That makes Mexico's figure about 1.1 times Germany's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Germany ahead.
Germany ranks 10th and Mexico ranks 9th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Germany averaged higher in 5 and Mexico in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Germany | Mexico | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 1.28 Mt CO2e | 0.705 Mt CO2e | 0.5781 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 1980s | 1.38 Mt CO2e | 1.05 Mt CO2e | 0.3378 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 1990s | 1.65 Mt CO2e | 1.27 Mt CO2e | 0.3714 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 2000s | 2.08 Mt CO2e | 1.59 Mt CO2e | 0.4864 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 2010s | 2.2 Mt CO2e | 2 Mt CO2e | 0.2049 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 2020s | 2.25 Mt CO2e | 2.32 Mt CO2e | 0.0651 Mt CO2e | Mexico |
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 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).
