Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Latvia
- Suriname
How they compare
Latvia currently reports 0.0359 Mt CO2e against 0.0302 Mt CO2e in Suriname, a difference of 0.0057 Mt CO2e.
That makes Latvia's figure about 1.2 times Suriname's.
The two have swapped places 8 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Latvia ahead.
Latvia ranks 151st and Suriname ranks 154th of 203 countries.
Latvia 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).
