Analysis
Australia recorded 23.32 kt for drained organic soils (n2o) — emissions (co2eq) from n2o (ar5) in 2020. That is the highest value across all 31 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is unchanged over ten years.
Over the whole period, drained organic soils (n2o) — emissions (co2eq) from n2o (ar5) in Australia peaked at 23.32 kt in 1990 and was at its lowest, 23.32 kt, in 1990.
That places Australia 24th out of 32 countries with data for 2020, putting it in the middle of the range.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions Totals summarizes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions disseminated in the FAOSTAT Climate Change domains of emissions from agrifood systems. Data are computed following the Tier 1 methods of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014). Emissions from other economic sectors as defined by the IPCC are also disseminated in the domain for completeness.
