Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Ecuador
- Kuwait
How they compare
Kuwait currently reports 0.0202 Mt CO2e against 0.0188 Mt CO2e in Ecuador, a difference of 0.0014 Mt CO2e.
That makes Kuwait's figure about 1.1 times Ecuador's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Kuwait ahead.
Ecuador ranks 50th and Kuwait ranks 48th of 187 countries.
Kuwait 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).
