British Virgin Islands vs Faroe Islands: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- British Virgin Islands
- Faroe Islands
How they compare
British Virgin Islands currently reports 0.0012 Mt CO2e against 0.0006 Mt CO2e in Faroe Islands, a difference of 0.0006 Mt CO2e.
That makes British Virgin Islands's figure about 2.0 times Faroe Islands's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Faroe Islands ahead.
British Virgin Islands ranks 193rd and Faroe Islands ranks 196th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, British Virgin Islands averaged higher in 2 and Faroe Islands in 4.

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).
