Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Agriculture over time
- Kuwait
- Qatar
How they compare
Kuwait currently reports 0.1806 Mt CO2e against 0.1667 Mt CO2e in Qatar, a difference of 0.0139 Mt CO2e.
That makes Kuwait's figure about 1.1 times Qatar's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Kuwait ahead.
Kuwait ranks 145th and Qatar ranks 147th of 201 countries.
Kuwait 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).
