Malaysia vs Nigeria: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Malaysia
- Nigeria
How they compare
Nigeria currently reports 1.8 Mt CO2e against 1.64 Mt CO2e in Malaysia, a difference of 0.16 Mt CO2e.
That makes Nigeria's figure about 1.1 times Malaysia's.
The two have swapped places 6 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Nigeria ahead.
Malaysia ranks 36th and Nigeria ranks 34th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Malaysia averaged higher in 1 and Nigeria in 5.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Malaysia | Nigeria | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.19 Mt CO2e | 0.4156 Mt CO2e | 0.2256 Mt CO2e | Nigeria |
| 1980s | 0.3337 Mt CO2e | 0.7591 Mt CO2e | 0.4254 Mt CO2e | Nigeria |
| 1990s | 0.6627 Mt CO2e | 0.9677 Mt CO2e | 0.305 Mt CO2e | Nigeria |
| 2000s | 1.11 Mt CO2e | 1.17 Mt CO2e | 0.0568 Mt CO2e | Nigeria |
| 2010s | 1.58 Mt CO2e | 1.52 Mt CO2e | 0.0602 Mt CO2e | Malaysia |
| 2020s | 1.56 Mt CO2e | 1.77 Mt CO2e | 0.2091 Mt CO2e | Nigeria |
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).
