Canada vs Iraq: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Canada
- Iraq
How they compare
Iraq currently reports 0.1761 Mt CO2e against 0.1133 Mt CO2e in Canada, a difference of 0.0628 Mt CO2e.
That makes Iraq's figure about 1.6 times Canada's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Iraq ahead.
Canada ranks 11th and Iraq ranks 8th of 187 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Canada averaged higher in 2 and Iraq 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).
