Finland vs Nigeria: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Finland
- Nigeria
How they compare
Nigeria currently reports 0.208 Mt CO2e against 0.1886 Mt CO2e in Finland, a difference of 0.0194 Mt CO2e.
That makes Nigeria's figure about 1.1 times Finland's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Finland ahead.
Finland ranks 19th and Nigeria ranks 16th of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Finland averaged higher in 4 and Nigeria in 2.

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).
