Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF over time
- Australia
- Canada
How they compare
Australia currently reports 50.81 Mt CO2e against 40.89 Mt CO2e in Canada, a difference of 9.92 Mt CO2e.
That makes Australia's figure about 1.2 times Canada's.
The two have swapped places 8 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Australia ahead.
Australia ranks 8th and Canada ranks 10th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Australia averaged higher in 5 and Canada in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Australia | Canada | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 33.14 Mt CO2e | 31.95 Mt CO2e | 1.2 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 1980s | 34.38 Mt CO2e | 36.56 Mt CO2e | 2.17 Mt CO2e | Canada |
| 1990s | 40.66 Mt CO2e | 39.15 Mt CO2e | 1.51 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 2000s | 44.38 Mt CO2e | 34.48 Mt CO2e | 9.9 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 2010s | 46.16 Mt CO2e | 37.61 Mt CO2e | 8.55 Mt CO2e | Australia |

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF.. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
