Indonesia vs Japan: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste over time
- Indonesia
- Japan
How they compare
Indonesia currently reports 3.79 Mt CO2e against 2.47 Mt CO2e in Japan, a difference of 1.32 Mt CO2e.
That makes Indonesia's figure about 1.5 times Japan's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Japan ahead.
Indonesia ranks 5th and Japan ranks 8th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Indonesia averaged higher in 2 and Japan 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).
