Guinea vs Libya: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Guinea
- Libya
How they compare
Libya currently reports 0.336 Mt CO2e against 0.3173 Mt CO2e in Guinea, a difference of 0.0187 Mt CO2e.
That makes Libya's figure about 1.1 times Guinea's.
The two have swapped places 13 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Guinea ahead.
Guinea ranks 94th and Libya ranks 91st of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Guinea averaged higher in 5 and Libya 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).
