Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Saudi Arabia
- Sudan
How they compare
Sudan currently reports 0.0778 Mt CO2e against 0.0727 Mt CO2e in Saudi Arabia, a difference of 0.0051 Mt CO2e.
That makes Sudan's figure about 1.1 times Saudi Arabia's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Saudi Arabia ahead.
Saudi Arabia ranks 19th and Sudan ranks 18th of 187 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Saudi Arabia 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).
