Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Canada
- Nigeria
How they compare
Canada currently reports 0.1133 Mt CO2e against 0.1054 Mt CO2e in Nigeria, a difference of 0.0079 Mt CO2e.
That makes Canada's figure about 1.1 times Nigeria's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Nigeria ahead.
Canada ranks 11th and Nigeria ranks 13th of 187 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Canada averaged higher in 1 and Nigeria in 5.

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).
