Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Burkina Faso
- Libya
How they compare
Burkina Faso currently reports 0.0035 Mt CO2e against 0.0033 Mt CO2e in Libya, a difference of 0.0002 Mt CO2e.
That makes Burkina Faso's figure about 1.1 times Libya's.
The two have swapped places 6 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Burkina Faso ahead.
Burkina Faso ranks 121st and Libya ranks 123rd of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Burkina Faso averaged higher in 3 and Libya in 3.

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).
