Mozambique vs Spain: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Mozambique
- Spain
How they compare
Spain currently reports 2.14 Mt CO2e against 1.98 Mt CO2e in Mozambique, a difference of 0.16 Mt CO2e.
That makes Spain's figure about 1.1 times Mozambique's.
The two have swapped places 12 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Spain ahead.
Mozambique ranks 33rd and Spain ranks 31st of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Mozambique averaged higher in 1 and Spain in 5.

| 1970s | 0.2071 Mt CO2e | 5.39 Mt CO2e | 5.18 Mt CO2e | Spain |
| 1980s | 1.57 Mt CO2e | 5.31 Mt CO2e | 3.74 Mt CO2e | Spain |
| 1990s | 1.82 Mt CO2e | 4.05 Mt CO2e | 2.23 Mt CO2e | Spain |
| 2000s | 2.13 Mt CO2e | 3.49 Mt CO2e | 1.36 Mt CO2e | Spain |
| 2010s | 2.49 Mt CO2e | 2.52 Mt CO2e | 0.0221 Mt CO2e | Spain |
| 2020s | 2.23 Mt CO2e | 2.21 Mt CO2e | 0.021 Mt CO2e | Mozambique |
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).
