Cambodia vs Laos: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Cambodia
- Laos
How they compare
Cambodia currently reports 0.4272 Mt CO2e against 0.405 Mt CO2e in Laos, a difference of 0.0222 Mt CO2e.
That makes Cambodia's figure about 1.1 times Laos's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Cambodia ahead.
Cambodia ranks 79th and Laos ranks 81st of 203 countries.
Cambodia 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).
