Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- Nigeria
- Turkmenistan
How they compare
Turkmenistan currently reports 0.0092 Mt CO2e against 0.0076 Mt CO2e in Nigeria, a difference of 0.0016 Mt CO2e.
That makes Turkmenistan's figure about 1.2 times Nigeria's.
The two have swapped places 8 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Turkmenistan ahead.
Nigeria ranks 106th and Turkmenistan ranks 103rd of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Nigeria averaged higher in 3 and Turkmenistan 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).
