Peru vs Uganda: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Peru
- Uganda
How they compare
Uganda currently reports 0.6936 Mt CO2e against 0.5576 Mt CO2e in Peru, a difference of 0.136 Mt CO2e.
That makes Uganda's figure about 1.2 times Peru's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Peru ahead.
Peru ranks 68th and Uganda ranks 65th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Peru averaged higher in 4 and Uganda in 2.

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).
