Myanmar vs South Africa: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- Myanmar
- South Africa
How they compare
Myanmar currently reports 0.4706 Mt CO2e against 0.4027 Mt CO2e in South Africa, a difference of 0.0679 Mt CO2e.
That makes Myanmar's figure about 1.2 times South Africa's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was South Africa ahead.
Myanmar ranks 28th and South Africa ranks 31st of 197 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Myanmar averaged higher in 3 and South Africa in 3.

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).
