Bangladesh vs Iran: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Agriculture
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Agriculture over time
- Bangladesh
- Iran
How they compare
Bangladesh currently reports 17.85 Mt CO2e against 16.17 Mt CO2e in Iran, a difference of 1.68 Mt CO2e.
That makes Bangladesh's figure about 1.1 times Iran's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Iran ahead.
Bangladesh ranks 21st and Iran ranks 22nd of 201 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Bangladesh averaged higher in 2 and Iran in 4.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Bangladesh | Iran | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 6.17 Mt CO2e | 7.14 Mt CO2e | 0.9646 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 1980s | 7.72 Mt CO2e | 10.42 Mt CO2e | 2.7 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 1990s | 11.71 Mt CO2e | 14.18 Mt CO2e | 2.47 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 2000s | 15.33 Mt CO2e | 16.49 Mt CO2e | 1.16 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 2010s | 17.47 Mt CO2e | 14.57 Mt CO2e | 2.9 Mt CO2e | Bangladesh |
| 2020s | 18.73 Mt CO2e | 15.84 Mt CO2e | 2.89 Mt CO2e | Bangladesh |
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 agricultural sector. This includes emissions from livestock (IPCC 2006 codes 3.A.1 (enteric fermentation, 3.a.2 (manure management) and crops (IPCC 2006 codes 3.C.1 Emissions from biomass burning, 3.C.2 Liming, 3.C.3 Urea application, 3.C.4 Direct N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.5 Indirect N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.6 Indirect N2O Emissions from manure management, 3.C.7 Rice cultivations). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
