Bhutan vs Latvia: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Bhutan
- Latvia
How they compare
Bhutan currently reports 0.0398 Mt CO2e against 0.0359 Mt CO2e in Latvia, a difference of 0.0039 Mt CO2e.
That makes Bhutan's figure about 1.1 times Latvia's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Latvia ahead.
Bhutan ranks 148th and Latvia ranks 151st of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Bhutan averaged higher in 1 and Latvia in 5.

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).
