Libya vs Qatar: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Libya
- Qatar
How they compare
Qatar currently reports 0.3609 Mt CO2e against 0.336 Mt CO2e in Libya, a difference of 0.0249 Mt CO2e.
That makes Qatar's figure about 1.1 times Libya's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Libya ahead.
Libya ranks 91st and Qatar ranks 88th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Libya averaged higher in 5 and Qatar in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Libya | Qatar | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.073 Mt CO2e | 0.0358 Mt CO2e | 0.0373 Mt CO2e | Libya |
| 1980s | 0.1643 Mt CO2e | 0.0563 Mt CO2e | 0.1081 Mt CO2e | Libya |
| 1990s | 0.213 Mt CO2e | 0.0753 Mt CO2e | 0.1377 Mt CO2e | Libya |
| 2000s | 0.3118 Mt CO2e | 0.1379 Mt CO2e | 0.1739 Mt CO2e | Libya |
| 2010s | 0.3273 Mt CO2e | 0.2817 Mt CO2e | 0.0456 Mt CO2e | Libya |
| 2020s | 0.307 Mt CO2e | 0.3323 Mt CO2e | 0.0253 Mt CO2e | Qatar |
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).
