Nigeria vs Pakistan: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Nigeria
- Pakistan
How they compare
Nigeria currently reports 1.8 Mt CO2e against 1.64 Mt CO2e in Pakistan, a difference of 0.16 Mt CO2e.
That makes Nigeria's figure about 1.1 times Pakistan's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Pakistan ahead.
Nigeria ranks 34th and Pakistan ranks 37th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Nigeria averaged higher in 1 and Pakistan in 5.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Nigeria | Pakistan | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.4156 Mt CO2e | 1.36 Mt CO2e | 0.9414 Mt CO2e | Pakistan |
| 1980s | 0.7591 Mt CO2e | 1.42 Mt CO2e | 0.6586 Mt CO2e | Pakistan |
| 1990s | 0.9677 Mt CO2e | 1.6 Mt CO2e | 0.6287 Mt CO2e | Pakistan |
| 2000s | 1.17 Mt CO2e | 1.85 Mt CO2e | 0.6805 Mt CO2e | Pakistan |
| 2010s | 1.52 Mt CO2e | 1.64 Mt CO2e | 0.1232 Mt CO2e | Pakistan |
| 2020s | 1.77 Mt CO2e | 1.72 Mt CO2e | 0.0488 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).
