Burkina Faso vs Senegal: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Burkina Faso
- Senegal
How they compare
Senegal currently reports 0.0037 Mt CO2e against 0.0035 Mt CO2e in Burkina Faso, a difference of 0.0002 Mt CO2e.
That makes Senegal's figure about 1.1 times Burkina Faso's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Burkina Faso ahead.
Burkina Faso ranks 121st and Senegal ranks 120th of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Burkina Faso averaged higher in 3 and Senegal 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).
