Rwanda vs Sierra Leone: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Rwanda
- Sierra Leone
How they compare
Sierra Leone currently reports 0.1325 Mt CO2e against 0.1242 Mt CO2e in Rwanda, a difference of 0.0083 Mt CO2e.
That makes Sierra Leone's figure about 1.1 times Rwanda's.
The two have swapped places 7 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Rwanda ahead.
Rwanda ranks 123rd and Sierra Leone ranks 121st of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Rwanda averaged higher in 3 and Sierra Leone in 3.

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).
