Burkina Faso vs Guatemala: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Burkina Faso
- Guatemala
How they compare
Guatemala currently reports 0.3785 Mt CO2e against 0.3452 Mt CO2e in Burkina Faso, a difference of 0.0333 Mt CO2e.
That makes Guatemala's figure about 1.1 times Burkina Faso's.
The two have swapped places 16 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Guatemala ahead.
Burkina Faso ranks 89th and Guatemala ranks 86th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Burkina Faso averaged higher in 2 and Guatemala 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).
