Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Egypt
- Saudi Arabia
How they compare
Saudi Arabia currently reports 0.1284 Mt CO2e against 0.1184 Mt CO2e in Egypt, a difference of 0.01 Mt CO2e.
That makes Saudi Arabia's figure about 1.1 times Egypt's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Egypt ahead.
Egypt ranks 28th and Saudi Arabia ranks 26th of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Egypt averaged higher in 2 and Saudi Arabia 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).
