Nigeria vs Sudan: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Agriculture
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Agriculture over time
- Nigeria
- Sudan
How they compare
Sudan currently reports 26.29 Mt CO2e against 22.95 Mt CO2e in Nigeria, a difference of 3.34 Mt CO2e.
That makes Sudan's figure about 1.1 times Nigeria's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Sudan has been ahead every year.
Nigeria ranks 15th and Sudan ranks 13th of 201 countries.
Sudan 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).
