Kenya vs Uganda: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- Kenya
- Uganda
How they compare
Uganda currently reports 0.0067 Mt CO2e against 0.0051 Mt CO2e in Kenya, a difference of 0.0016 Mt CO2e.
That makes Uganda's figure about 1.3 times Kenya's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Kenya ahead.
Kenya ranks 112th and Uganda ranks 109th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Kenya averaged higher in 5 and Uganda in 1.

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).
