Iraq vs Mexico: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Iraq
- Mexico
How they compare
Iraq currently reports 2.67 Mt CO2e against 2.54 Mt CO2e in Mexico, a difference of 0.13 Mt CO2e.
That makes Iraq's figure about 1.1 times Mexico's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Mexico ahead.
Iraq ranks 23rd and Mexico ranks 25th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Iraq averaged higher in 1 and Mexico in 5.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Iraq | Mexico | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.5731 Mt CO2e | 2.07 Mt CO2e | 1.5 Mt CO2e | Mexico |
| 1980s | 0.8901 Mt CO2e | 2.87 Mt CO2e | 1.98 Mt CO2e | Mexico |
| 1990s | 1.23 Mt CO2e | 3.79 Mt CO2e | 2.56 Mt CO2e | Mexico |
| 2000s | 1.44 Mt CO2e | 3.5 Mt CO2e | 2.06 Mt CO2e | Mexico |
| 2010s | 1.97 Mt CO2e | 2.92 Mt CO2e | 0.9491 Mt CO2e | Mexico |
| 2020s | 2.48 Mt CO2e | 2.4 Mt CO2e | 0.0765 Mt CO2e | Iraq |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

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).
