Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Ghana
- Somalia
How they compare
Ghana currently reports 0.0586 Mt CO2e against 0.0529 Mt CO2e in Somalia, a difference of 0.0057 Mt CO2e.
That makes Ghana's figure about 1.1 times Somalia's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Ghana ahead.
Ghana ranks 25th and Somalia ranks 28th of 187 countries.
Ghana 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).
