Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Afghanistan
- Greece
How they compare
Afghanistan currently reports 0.0055 Mt CO2e against 0.0051 Mt CO2e in Greece, a difference of 0.0004 Mt CO2e.
That makes Afghanistan's figure about 1.1 times Greece's.
The two have swapped places 8 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Afghanistan ahead.
Afghanistan ranks 87th and Greece ranks 90th of 187 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Afghanistan averaged higher in 1 and Greece in 5.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Afghanistan | Greece | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.0019 Mt CO2e | 0.002 Mt CO2e | 0.0001 Mt CO2e | Greece |
| 1980s | 0.0017 Mt CO2e | 0.0023 Mt CO2e | 0.0006 Mt CO2e | Greece |
| 1990s | 0.002 Mt CO2e | 0.003 Mt CO2e | 0.001 Mt CO2e | Greece |
| 2000s | 0.0032 Mt CO2e | 0.0041 Mt CO2e | 0.0009 Mt CO2e | Greece |
| 2010s | 0.0045 Mt CO2e | 0.0054 Mt CO2e | 0.001 Mt CO2e | Greece |
| 2020s | 0.0054 Mt CO2e | 0.005 Mt CO2e | 0.0004 Mt CO2e | Afghanistan |
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 fugitive emissions (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.1.bc Petroleum Refining - Manufacture of Solid Fuels and Other Energy Industries, 1.B.1 Solid Fuels, 1.B.2 Oil and Natural Gas, 5.B. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
