Nigeria vs Sweden: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Nigeria
- Sweden
How they compare
Sweden currently reports 0.2663 Mt CO2e against 0.208 Mt CO2e in Nigeria, a difference of 0.0583 Mt CO2e.
That makes Sweden's figure about 1.3 times Nigeria's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Sweden ahead.
Nigeria ranks 16th and Sweden ranks 13th of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Nigeria averaged higher in 1 and Sweden in 5.

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).
