Iran vs Thailand: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste over time
- Iran
- Thailand
How they compare
Iran currently reports 1.19 Mt CO2e against 0.9187 Mt CO2e in Thailand, a difference of 0.2713 Mt CO2e.
That makes Iran's figure about 1.3 times Thailand's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Thailand ahead.
Iran ranks 25th and Thailand ranks 28th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Iran averaged higher in 5 and Thailand in 1.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.3508 Mt CO2e | 0.3775 Mt CO2e | 0.0267 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
| 1980s | 0.5973 Mt CO2e | 0.4756 Mt CO2e | 0.1217 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 1990s | 0.8347 Mt CO2e | 0.5899 Mt CO2e | 0.2448 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 2000s | 0.9899 Mt CO2e | 0.6777 Mt CO2e | 0.3123 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 2010s | 1.15 Mt CO2e | 0.801 Mt CO2e | 0.3497 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 2020s | 1.19 Mt CO2e | 0.8876 Mt CO2e | 0.2989 Mt CO2e | Iran |
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).
