Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Afghanistan
- Singapore
How they compare
Afghanistan currently reports 0.0137 Mt CO2e against 0.0122 Mt CO2e in Singapore, a difference of 0.0015 Mt CO2e.
That makes Afghanistan's figure about 1.1 times Singapore's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Singapore ahead.
Afghanistan ranks 82nd and Singapore ranks 85th of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Afghanistan averaged higher in 2 and Singapore in 4.

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).
