Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- Costa Rica
- Eritrea
How they compare
Eritrea currently reports 0.0008 Mt CO2e against 0.0007 Mt CO2e in Costa Rica, a difference of 0.0001 Mt CO2e.
That makes Eritrea's figure about 1.1 times Costa Rica's.
The two have swapped places 12 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Eritrea ahead.
Costa Rica ranks 148th and Eritrea ranks 146th of 194 countries.
Costa Rica 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).
