Iran vs Nigeria: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- Iran
- Nigeria
How they compare
Iran currently reports 1.2 Mt CO2e against 1.08 Mt CO2e in Nigeria, a difference of 0.12 Mt CO2e.
That makes Iran's figure about 1.1 times Nigeria's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Nigeria ahead.
Iran ranks 13th and Nigeria ranks 16th of 197 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Iran averaged higher in 5 and Nigeria in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Iran | Nigeria | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.361 Mt CO2e | 0.4403 Mt CO2e | 0.0793 Mt CO2e | Nigeria |
| 1980s | 0.9001 Mt CO2e | 0.4114 Mt CO2e | 0.4887 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 1990s | 1.28 Mt CO2e | 0.5786 Mt CO2e | 0.7064 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 2000s | 1.22 Mt CO2e | 0.6887 Mt CO2e | 0.5274 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 2010s | 1.04 Mt CO2e | 0.8704 Mt CO2e | 0.165 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 2020s | 1.12 Mt CO2e | 1.06 Mt CO2e | 0.0574 Mt CO2e | Iran |
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 building sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.4 Residential and other sectors, 1.A.5 Non-Specified. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
