Finland vs Norway: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Finland
- Norway
How they compare
Finland currently reports 1.26 Mt CO2e against 1.07 Mt CO2e in Norway, a difference of 0.19 Mt CO2e.
That makes Finland's figure about 1.2 times Norway's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Norway ahead.
Finland ranks 47th and Norway ranks 48th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Finland averaged higher in 2 and Norway 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).
