Korea vs Least developed countries: UN classification: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Korea
- Least developed countries: UN classification
How they compare
Least developed countries: UN classification currently reports 27.85 Mt CO2e against 2.68 Mt CO2e in Korea, a difference of 25.17 Mt CO2e.
That makes Least developed countries: UN classification's figure about 10.4 times Korea's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Least developed countries: UN classification has been ahead every year.
Korea ranks 22nd and Least developed countries: UN classification ranks 24th of 203 countries.
Least developed countries: UN classification 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).
