Congo vs Senegal: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Congo
- Senegal
How they compare
Congo currently reports 0.3106 Mt CO2e against 0.2934 Mt CO2e in Senegal, a difference of 0.0172 Mt CO2e.
That makes Congo's figure about 1.1 times Senegal's.
The two have swapped places 11 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Senegal ahead.
Congo ranks 95th and Senegal ranks 97th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Congo averaged higher in 2 and Senegal 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).
