Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Ghana
- Nepal
How they compare
Ghana currently reports 0.5253 Mt CO2e against 0.4671 Mt CO2e in Nepal, a difference of 0.0582 Mt CO2e.
That makes Ghana's figure about 1.1 times Nepal's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Nepal ahead.
Ghana ranks 71st and Nepal ranks 74th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Ghana averaged higher in 5 and Nepal 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).
