Liberia vs Nicaragua: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Liberia
- Nicaragua
How they compare
Liberia currently reports 0.115 Mt CO2e against 0.1084 Mt CO2e in Nicaragua, a difference of 0.0066 Mt CO2e.
That makes Liberia's figure about 1.1 times Nicaragua's.
The two have swapped places 11 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Nicaragua ahead.
Liberia ranks 125th and Nicaragua ranks 127th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Liberia averaged higher in 2 and Nicaragua in 4.

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).
