Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- Kazakhstan
- Sub-Saharan Africa (IDA & IBRD countries)
How they compare
Sub-Saharan Africa (IDA & IBRD countries) currently reports 2.29 Mt CO2e against 0.416 Mt CO2e in Kazakhstan, a difference of 1.87 Mt CO2e.
That makes Sub-Saharan Africa (IDA & IBRD countries)'s figure about 5.5 times Kazakhstan's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Sub-Saharan Africa (IDA & IBRD countries) ahead.
Kazakhstan ranks 24th and Sub-Saharan Africa (IDA & IBRD countries) ranks 26th of 194 countries.
Sub-Saharan Africa (IDA & IBRD countries) 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).
