Kenya vs Sudan: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Kenya
- Sudan
How they compare
Kenya currently reports 0.0954 Mt CO2e against 0.0778 Mt CO2e in Sudan, a difference of 0.0176 Mt CO2e.
That makes Kenya's figure about 1.2 times Sudan's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Sudan ahead.
Kenya ranks 15th and Sudan ranks 18th of 187 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Kenya averaged higher in 2 and Sudan in 4.

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).
