- Nigeria
- Spain
How they compare
Spain currently reports 2.14 Mt CO2e against 1.8 Mt CO2e in Nigeria, a difference of 0.34 Mt CO2e.
That makes Spain's figure about 1.2 times Nigeria's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Spain has been ahead every year.
Nigeria ranks 34th and Spain ranks 31st of 203 countries.
Spain has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
