Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Australia
- Russia
How they compare
Russia currently reports 23.35 Mt CO2e against 6.82 Mt CO2e in Australia, a difference of 16.54 Mt CO2e.
That makes Russia's figure about 3.4 times Australia's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Russia has been ahead every year.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from industrial processes including IPCC 2006 codes 2.A.1 Cement production, 2.A.2 Lime production, 2.A.3 Glass Production, 2.A.4 Other Process Uses of Carbonates, 2.B Chemical Industry, 2.C Metal Industry, 2.D Non-Energy Products from Fuels and Solvent Use, 2.E Electronics Industry, 2.F Product Uses as Substitutes for Ozone Depleting Substances, 2.G Other Product Manufacture and Use and 5.A Indirect N2O emissions from the atmospheric deposition of nitrogen in NOx and NH3). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
