Ghana vs Peru: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Ghana
- Peru
How they compare
Peru currently reports 0.5576 Mt CO2e against 0.5253 Mt CO2e in Ghana, a difference of 0.0323 Mt CO2e.
That makes Peru's figure about 1.1 times Ghana's.
The two have swapped places 6 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Peru ahead.
Ghana ranks 71st and Peru ranks 68th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Ghana averaged higher in 2 and Peru 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).
