Kenya vs Kuwait: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Kenya
- Kuwait
How they compare
Kenya currently reports 0.6314 Mt CO2e against 0.5447 Mt CO2e in Kuwait, a difference of 0.0867 Mt CO2e.
That makes Kenya's figure about 1.2 times Kuwait's.
The two have swapped places 8 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Kenya ahead.
Kenya ranks 67th and Kuwait ranks 69th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Kenya averaged higher in 5 and Kuwait 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).
