Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- Afghanistan
- Sudan
How they compare
Afghanistan currently reports 0.0089 Mt CO2e against 0.0076 Mt CO2e in Sudan, a difference of 0.0013 Mt CO2e.
That makes Afghanistan's figure about 1.2 times Sudan's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Sudan ahead.
Afghanistan ranks 105th and Sudan ranks 106th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Afghanistan averaged higher in 3 and Sudan in 3.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from electricity and heat generation (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.1.a. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
