Kenya vs Spain: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Agriculture
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Agriculture over time
- Kenya
- Spain
How they compare
Kenya currently reports 14.29 Mt CO2e against 13.35 Mt CO2e in Spain, a difference of 0.94 Mt CO2e.
That makes Kenya's figure about 1.1 times Spain's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Spain ahead.
Kenya ranks 26th and Spain ranks 27th of 201 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Kenya averaged higher in 1 and Spain in 5.

| Decade | Kenya | Spain | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 4.58 Mt CO2e | 8.71 Mt CO2e | 4.13 Mt CO2e | Spain |
| 1980s | 5.88 Mt CO2e | 11.68 Mt CO2e | 5.8 Mt CO2e | Spain |
| 1990s | 6.79 Mt CO2e | 13.42 Mt CO2e | 6.63 Mt CO2e | Spain |
| 2000s | 8.36 Mt CO2e | 14.49 Mt CO2e | 6.13 Mt CO2e | Spain |
| 2010s | 11.93 Mt CO2e | 14.43 Mt CO2e | 2.49 Mt CO2e | Spain |
| 2020s | 14.74 Mt CO2e | 14.01 Mt CO2e | 0.7278 Mt CO2e | Kenya |
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).
