Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- Angola
- Nigeria
How they compare
Nigeria currently reports 0.0076 Mt CO2e against 0.0067 Mt CO2e in Angola, a difference of 0.0009 Mt CO2e.
That makes Nigeria's figure about 1.1 times Angola's.
The two have swapped places 6 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Nigeria ahead.
Angola ranks 109th and Nigeria ranks 106th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Angola averaged higher in 1 and Nigeria in 5.

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).
