- Congo
- Guinea
How they compare
Guinea currently reports 0.002 Mt CO2e against 0.0018 Mt CO2e in Congo, a difference of 0.0002 Mt CO2e.
That makes Guinea's figure about 1.1 times Congo's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Congo ahead.
Congo ranks 138th and Guinea ranks 135th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Congo averaged higher in 1 and Guinea 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).
