Greenland vs St. Lucia: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Greenland
- St. Lucia
How they compare
St. Lucia currently reports 0.004 Mt CO2e against 0.0031 Mt CO2e in Greenland, a difference of 0.0009 Mt CO2e.
That makes St. Lucia's figure about 1.3 times Greenland's.
The two have swapped places 6 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was St. Lucia ahead.
Greenland ranks 185th and St. Lucia ranks 182nd of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Greenland averaged higher in 2 and St. Lucia 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).
