Ethiopia vs Iran: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Ethiopia
- Iran
How they compare
Ethiopia currently reports 0.2154 Mt CO2e against 0.2033 Mt CO2e in Iran, a difference of 0.0121 Mt CO2e.
That makes Ethiopia's figure about 1.1 times Iran's.
The two have swapped places 7 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Iran ahead.
Ethiopia ranks 6th and Iran ranks 7th of 187 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Ethiopia averaged higher in 3 and Iran in 3.

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).
