- Algeria
- South Asia
How they compare
South Asia currently reports 19.37 Mt CO2e against 1.69 Mt CO2e in Algeria, a difference of 17.68 Mt CO2e.
That makes South Asia's figure about 11.5 times Algeria's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, South Asia has been ahead every year.
Algeria ranks 35th and South Asia ranks 35th of 203 countries.
South Asia has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
