Afghanistan vs Panama: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Afghanistan
- Panama
How they compare
Afghanistan currently reports 0.1025 Mt CO2e against 0.0961 Mt CO2e in Panama, a difference of 0.0064 Mt CO2e.
That makes Afghanistan's figure about 1.1 times Panama's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Panama ahead.
Afghanistan ranks 128th and Panama ranks 129th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Afghanistan averaged higher in 1 and Panama in 5.

| 1970s | 0.0123 Mt CO2e | 0.0343 Mt CO2e | 0.0221 Mt CO2e | Panama |
| 1980s | 0.0214 Mt CO2e | 0.0399 Mt CO2e | 0.0185 Mt CO2e | Panama |
| 1990s | 0.0274 Mt CO2e | 0.0535 Mt CO2e | 0.0261 Mt CO2e | Panama |
| 2000s | 0.0327 Mt CO2e | 0.072 Mt CO2e | 0.0393 Mt CO2e | Panama |
| 2010s | 0.0831 Mt CO2e | 0.093 Mt CO2e | 0.0099 Mt CO2e | Panama |
| 2020s | 0.1007 Mt CO2e | 0.0839 Mt CO2e | 0.0168 Mt CO2e | Afghanistan |
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 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).
