Bhutan vs Faroe Islands: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Agriculture
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Agriculture over time
- Bhutan
- Faroe Islands
How they compare
Bhutan currently reports 0.0593 Mt CO2e against 0.0513 Mt CO2e in Faroe Islands, a difference of 0.008 Mt CO2e.
That makes Bhutan's figure about 1.2 times Faroe Islands's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Bhutan ahead.
Bhutan ranks 160th and Faroe Islands ranks 162nd of 201 countries.
Bhutan has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
