Ireland vs Namibia: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Ireland
- Namibia
How they compare
Ireland currently reports 0.1225 Mt CO2e against 0.1132 Mt CO2e in Namibia, a difference of 0.0093 Mt CO2e.
That makes Ireland's figure about 1.1 times Namibia's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Ireland ahead.
Ireland ranks 124th and Namibia ranks 126th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Ireland averaged higher in 4 and Namibia in 2.

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).
