Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Nigeria
- Venezuela
How they compare
Nigeria currently reports 0.1054 Mt CO2e against 0.0842 Mt CO2e in Venezuela, a difference of 0.0212 Mt CO2e.
That makes Nigeria's figure about 1.3 times Venezuela's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Nigeria ahead.
Nigeria ranks 13th and Venezuela ranks 16th of 187 countries.
Nigeria 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).
