Kenya vs Uganda: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Kenya
- Uganda
How they compare
Uganda currently reports 0.6936 Mt CO2e against 0.6314 Mt CO2e in Kenya, a difference of 0.0622 Mt CO2e.
That makes Uganda's figure about 1.1 times Kenya's.
The two have swapped places 11 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Kenya ahead.
Kenya ranks 67th and Uganda ranks 65th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Kenya averaged higher in 5 and Uganda in 1.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.1743 Mt CO2e | 0.1335 Mt CO2e | 0.0408 Mt CO2e | Kenya |
| 1980s | 0.2727 Mt CO2e | 0.2301 Mt CO2e | 0.0425 Mt CO2e | Kenya |
| 1990s | 0.3417 Mt CO2e | 0.2784 Mt CO2e | 0.0632 Mt CO2e | Kenya |
| 2000s | 0.4097 Mt CO2e | 0.3807 Mt CO2e | 0.029 Mt CO2e | Kenya |
| 2010s | 0.5459 Mt CO2e | 0.5149 Mt CO2e | 0.031 Mt CO2e | Kenya |
| 2020s | 0.6171 Mt CO2e | 0.684 Mt CO2e | 0.0669 Mt CO2e | Uganda |
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).
