Cape Verde vs French Polynesia: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Cape Verde
- French Polynesia
How they compare
French Polynesia currently reports 0.0003 Mt CO2e against 0.0002 Mt CO2e in Cape Verde, a difference of 0.0001 Mt CO2e.
That makes French Polynesia's figure about 1.5 times Cape Verde's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Cape Verde ahead.
Cape Verde ranks 165th and French Polynesia ranks 163rd of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Cape Verde averaged higher in 2 and French Polynesia 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).
