Kenya vs Zambia: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Kenya
- Zambia
How they compare
Zambia currently reports 0.0394 Mt CO2e against 0.0319 Mt CO2e in Kenya, a difference of 0.0075 Mt CO2e.
That makes Zambia's figure about 1.2 times Kenya's.
The two have swapped places 8 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Zambia ahead.
Kenya ranks 55th and Zambia ranks 52nd of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Kenya averaged higher in 1 and Zambia in 5.

| Decade | Kenya | Zambia | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.0107 Mt CO2e | 0.0221 Mt CO2e | 0.0114 Mt CO2e | Zambia |
| 1980s | 0.0132 Mt CO2e | 0.0237 Mt CO2e | 0.0105 Mt CO2e | Zambia |
| 1990s | 0.0146 Mt CO2e | 0.0269 Mt CO2e | 0.0123 Mt CO2e | Zambia |
| 2000s | 0.0175 Mt CO2e | 0.0171 Mt CO2e | 0.0004 Mt CO2e | Kenya |
| 2010s | 0.0221 Mt CO2e | 0.026 Mt CO2e | 0.0038 Mt CO2e | Zambia |
| 2020s | 0.027 Mt CO2e | 0.0382 Mt CO2e | 0.0112 Mt CO2e | Zambia |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

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).
