This scatter chart displays nitrous oxide emissions (Mt of CO2 equivalent) against electricity production from coal sources (% of total) and is filtered where the country is the United States. The data is from the countries entity.

Analysis

Legend

There are 3 fields used on this chart (including filters):
  • country: Name of country.
  • electricity production from coal sources: Sources of electricity refer to the inputs used to generate electricity. Coal refers to all coal and brown coal, both primary (including hard coal and lignite-brown coal) and derived fuels (including patent fuel, coke oven coke, gas coke, coke oven gas, and blast furnace gas). This field is expressed in % of total.
  • nitrous oxide emissions: 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). Nitrous oxide emissions are emissions from agricultural biomass burning, industrial activities, and livestock management. This field is expressed in Mt of CO2 equivalent.
