Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- Congo
- Suriname
How they compare
Congo currently reports 0.0018 Mt CO2e against 0.0017 Mt CO2e in Suriname, a difference of 0.0001 Mt CO2e.
That makes Congo's figure about 1.1 times Suriname's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Suriname ahead.
Congo ranks 138th and Suriname ranks 140th of 194 countries.
Suriname has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
