Singapore vs Switzerland: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Singapore
- Switzerland
How they compare
Switzerland currently reports 0.1703 Mt CO2e against 0.1509 Mt CO2e in Singapore, a difference of 0.0194 Mt CO2e.
That makes Switzerland's figure about 1.1 times Singapore's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Switzerland ahead.
Singapore ranks 112th and Switzerland ranks 110th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Singapore averaged higher in 3 and Switzerland 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).
