Ukraine vs Zambia: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Ukraine
- Zambia
How they compare
Zambia currently reports 3.23 Mt CO2e against 2.77 Mt CO2e in Ukraine, a difference of 0.46 Mt CO2e.
That makes Zambia's figure about 1.2 times Ukraine's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Ukraine ahead.
Ukraine ranks 20th and Zambia ranks 17th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Ukraine averaged higher in 5 and Zambia in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Ukraine | Zambia | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 16.11 Mt CO2e | 0.9172 Mt CO2e | 15.2 Mt CO2e | Ukraine |
| 1980s | 15.8 Mt CO2e | 2.81 Mt CO2e | 12.99 Mt CO2e | Ukraine |
| 1990s | 5.81 Mt CO2e | 2.95 Mt CO2e | 2.85 Mt CO2e | Ukraine |
| 2000s | 5.38 Mt CO2e | 2.99 Mt CO2e | 2.39 Mt CO2e | Ukraine |
| 2010s | 5.03 Mt CO2e | 3.4 Mt CO2e | 1.64 Mt CO2e | Ukraine |
| 2020s | 2.86 Mt CO2e | 3.14 Mt CO2e | 0.2732 Mt CO2e | Zambia |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

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).
