Gabon vs Switzerland: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Gabon
- Switzerland
How they compare
Switzerland currently reports 0.1703 Mt CO2e against 0.1506 Mt CO2e in Gabon, a difference of 0.0197 Mt CO2e.
That makes Switzerland's figure about 1.1 times Gabon's.
The two have swapped places 10 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Switzerland ahead.
Gabon ranks 113th and Switzerland ranks 110th of 203 countries.
Switzerland has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
