Afghanistan vs Mauritania: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Afghanistan
- Mauritania
How they compare
Afghanistan currently reports 0.1025 Mt CO2e against 0.0944 Mt CO2e in Mauritania, a difference of 0.0081 Mt CO2e.
That makes Afghanistan's figure about 1.1 times Mauritania's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Afghanistan ahead.
Afghanistan ranks 129th and Mauritania ranks 132nd of 204 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Afghanistan averaged higher in 4 and Mauritania in 2.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from industrial processes including IPCC 2006 codes 2.A.1 Cement production, 2.A.2 Lime production, 2.A.3 Glass Production, 2.A.4 Other Process Uses of Carbonates, 2.B Chemical Industry, 2.C Metal Industry, 2.D Non-Energy Products from Fuels and Solvent Use, 2.E Electronics Industry, 2.F Product Uses as Substitutes for Ozone Depleting Substances, 2.G Other Product Manufacture and Use and 5.A Indirect N2O emissions from the atmospheric deposition of nitrogen in NOx and NH3). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
