Kenya vs Zambia: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Kenya
- Zambia
How they compare
Zambia currently reports 0.1014 Mt CO2e against 0.0954 Mt CO2e in Kenya, a difference of 0.006 Mt CO2e.
That makes Zambia's figure about 1.1 times Kenya's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Kenya ahead.
Kenya ranks 15th and Zambia ranks 14th of 187 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Kenya averaged higher in 5 and Zambia in 1.

| 1980s | 0.0382 Mt CO2e | 0.0193 Mt CO2e | 0.0189 Mt CO2e | Kenya |
| 1990s | 0.0503 Mt CO2e | 0.0247 Mt CO2e | 0.0256 Mt CO2e | Kenya |
| 2000s | 0.0671 Mt CO2e | 0.0346 Mt CO2e | 0.0325 Mt CO2e | Kenya |
| 2010s | 0.087 Mt CO2e | 0.0624 Mt CO2e | 0.0246 Mt CO2e | Kenya |
| 2020s | 0.0932 Mt CO2e | 0.0969 Mt CO2e | 0.0036 Mt CO2e | Zambia |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

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).
