Ireland vs Sierra Leone: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Ireland
- Sierra Leone
How they compare
Sierra Leone currently reports 0.1325 Mt CO2e against 0.1225 Mt CO2e in Ireland, a difference of 0.01 Mt CO2e.
That makes Sierra Leone's figure about 1.1 times Ireland's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Ireland ahead.
Ireland ranks 124th and Sierra Leone ranks 121st of 203 countries.
Ireland has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
