Nigeria vs Uganda: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Nigeria
- Uganda
How they compare
Uganda currently reports 0.1109 Mt CO2e against 0.1054 Mt CO2e in Nigeria, a difference of 0.0055 Mt CO2e.
That makes Uganda's figure about 1.1 times Nigeria's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Nigeria ahead.
Nigeria ranks 13th and Uganda ranks 12th of 187 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Nigeria averaged higher in 5 and Uganda in 1.

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).
