Afghanistan vs Ireland: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Afghanistan
- Ireland
How they compare
Ireland currently reports 0.0146 Mt CO2e against 0.0137 Mt CO2e in Afghanistan, a difference of 0.0009 Mt CO2e.
That makes Ireland's figure about 1.1 times Afghanistan's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Ireland ahead.
Afghanistan ranks 82nd and Ireland ranks 81st of 193 countries.
Ireland 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 industrial combustion (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.2 Manufacturing Industries and Construction. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
