Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- Norway
- Syria
How they compare
Norway currently reports 0.0293 Mt CO2e against 0.0246 Mt CO2e in Syria, a difference of 0.0047 Mt CO2e.
That makes Norway's figure about 1.2 times Syria's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Syria ahead.
Norway ranks 74th and Syria ranks 76th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Norway averaged higher in 2 and Syria in 4.

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).
