IDA only vs Saudi Arabia: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- IDA only
- Saudi Arabia
How they compare
IDA only currently reports 1.21 Mt CO2e against 0.3032 Mt CO2e in Saudi Arabia, a difference of 0.9068 Mt CO2e.
That makes IDA only's figure about 4.0 times Saudi Arabia's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was IDA only ahead.
IDA only ranks 32nd and Saudi Arabia ranks 30th of 45 groups.
Across the 6 decades both report, IDA only averaged higher in 3 and Saudi Arabia 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).
