Laos vs Madagascar: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Laos
- Madagascar
How they compare
Madagascar currently reports 0.4457 Mt CO2e against 0.405 Mt CO2e in Laos, a difference of 0.0407 Mt CO2e.
That makes Madagascar's figure about 1.1 times Laos's.
The two have swapped places 8 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Madagascar ahead.
Laos ranks 81st and Madagascar ranks 78th of 203 countries.
Madagascar 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).
