French Polynesia vs Seychelles: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- French Polynesia
- Seychelles
How they compare
Seychelles currently reports 0.01 Mt CO2e against 0.0088 Mt CO2e in French Polynesia, a difference of 0.0012 Mt CO2e.
That makes Seychelles's figure about 1.1 times French Polynesia's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was French Polynesia ahead.
French Polynesia ranks 172nd and Seychelles ranks 170th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, French Polynesia averaged higher in 4 and Seychelles in 2.

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).
