Gibraltar vs Greenland: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Gibraltar
- Greenland
How they compare
Greenland currently reports 0.0031 Mt CO2e against 0.0027 Mt CO2e in Gibraltar, a difference of 0.0004 Mt CO2e.
That makes Greenland's figure about 1.1 times Gibraltar's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Gibraltar ahead.
Gibraltar ranks 187th and Greenland ranks 185th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Gibraltar averaged higher in 5 and Greenland 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).
