Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Benin
- Small states
How they compare
Benin currently reports 0.0204 Mt CO2e against 0.0174 Mt CO2e in Small states, a difference of 0.003 Mt CO2e.
That makes Benin's figure about 1.2 times Small states's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Small states ahead.
Benin ranks 46th and Small states ranks 42nd of 187 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Benin averaged higher in 2 and Small states in 4.

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).
