Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Costa Rica
- Ethiopia
How they compare
Ethiopia currently reports 0.0213 Mt CO2e against 0.0199 Mt CO2e in Costa Rica, a difference of 0.0014 Mt CO2e.
That makes Ethiopia's figure about 1.1 times Costa Rica's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Costa Rica ahead.
Costa Rica ranks 71st and Ethiopia ranks 69th of 193 countries.
Costa Rica 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).
