Afghanistan vs Netherlands: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Afghanistan
- Netherlands
How they compare
Afghanistan currently reports 0.0055 Mt CO2e against 0.0052 Mt CO2e in Netherlands, a difference of 0.0003 Mt CO2e.
That makes Afghanistan's figure about 1.1 times Netherlands's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Netherlands ahead.
Afghanistan ranks 87th and Netherlands ranks 88th of 187 countries.
Netherlands 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 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).
