Least developed countries vs United Kingdom: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Least developed countries
- United Kingdom
How they compare
Least developed countries currently reports 27.85 Mt CO2e against 2.52 Mt CO2e in United Kingdom, a difference of 25.33 Mt CO2e.
That makes Least developed countries's figure about 11.0 times United Kingdom's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was United Kingdom ahead.
Least developed countries ranks 3rd and United Kingdom ranks 27th of 204 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Least developed countries averaged higher in 5 and United Kingdom in 1.
Head to head by decade

| 1970s | 3.95 Mt CO2e | 10.18 Mt CO2e | 6.23 Mt CO2e | United Kingdom |
| 1980s | 22.44 Mt CO2e | 11.9 Mt CO2e | 10.54 Mt CO2e | Least developed countries |
| 1990s | 26.33 Mt CO2e | 6.45 Mt CO2e | 19.88 Mt CO2e | Least developed countries |
| 2000s | 26.81 Mt CO2e | 4.63 Mt CO2e | 22.17 Mt CO2e | Least developed countries |
| 2010s | 28.31 Mt CO2e | 3.02 Mt CO2e | 25.3 Mt CO2e | Least developed countries |
| 2020s | 27.89 Mt CO2e | 2.64 Mt CO2e | 25.25 Mt CO2e | Least developed countries |
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).
