Estonia vs Lesotho: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Estonia
- Lesotho
How they compare
Lesotho currently reports 0.052 Mt CO2e against 0.0452 Mt CO2e in Estonia, a difference of 0.0068 Mt CO2e.
That makes Lesotho's figure about 1.2 times Estonia's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Estonia ahead.
Estonia ranks 144th and Lesotho ranks 141st of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Estonia averaged higher in 5 and Lesotho in 1.

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).
