France vs Heavily indebted poor countries (HIPC): Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- France
- Heavily indebted poor countries (HIPC)
How they compare
Heavily indebted poor countries (HIPC) currently reports 25.14 Mt CO2e against 2.47 Mt CO2e in France, a difference of 22.67 Mt CO2e.
That makes Heavily indebted poor countries (HIPC)'s figure about 10.2 times France's.
The two have swapped places 7 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was France ahead.
France ranks 27th and Heavily indebted poor countries (HIPC) ranks 27th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, France averaged higher in 2 and Heavily indebted poor countries (HIPC) 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).
