Somalia vs Sri Lanka: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Somalia
- Sri Lanka
How they compare
Somalia currently reports 0.2478 Mt CO2e against 0.2219 Mt CO2e in Sri Lanka, a difference of 0.0259 Mt CO2e.
That makes Somalia's figure about 1.1 times Sri Lanka's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Sri Lanka ahead.
Somalia ranks 104th and Sri Lanka ranks 106th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Somalia averaged higher in 1 and Sri Lanka in 5.

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).
