Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Iraq
- Latvia
How they compare
Latvia currently reports 0.0251 Mt CO2e against 0.0238 Mt CO2e in Iraq, a difference of 0.0013 Mt CO2e.
That makes Latvia's figure about 1.1 times Iraq's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Latvia ahead.
Iraq ranks 63rd and Latvia ranks 62nd of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Iraq averaged higher in 3 and Latvia in 3.

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).
