Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Chile
- Sri Lanka
How they compare
Chile currently reports 0.1171 Mt CO2e against 0.094 Mt CO2e in Sri Lanka, a difference of 0.0231 Mt CO2e.
That makes Chile's figure about 1.2 times Sri Lanka's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Chile ahead.
Chile ranks 29th and Sri Lanka ranks 32nd of 193 countries.
Chile 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).
