Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Egypt
- Saudi Arabia
How they compare
Egypt currently reports 0.0798 Mt CO2e against 0.0727 Mt CO2e in Saudi Arabia, a difference of 0.0071 Mt CO2e.
That makes Egypt's figure about 1.1 times Saudi Arabia's.
The two have swapped places 7 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Saudi Arabia ahead.
Egypt ranks 17th and Saudi Arabia ranks 19th of 187 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Egypt averaged higher in 4 and Saudi Arabia in 2.

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).
