Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- Malawi
- Niger
How they compare
Niger currently reports 0.0017 Mt CO2e against 0.0013 Mt CO2e in Malawi, a difference of 0.0004 Mt CO2e.
That makes Niger's figure about 1.3 times Malawi's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Niger ahead.
Malawi ranks 142nd and Niger ranks 140th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Malawi averaged higher in 4 and Niger in 2.

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).
