Afghanistan vs Benin: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Afghanistan
- Benin
How they compare
Afghanistan currently reports 0.0498 Mt CO2e against 0.0452 Mt CO2e in Benin, a difference of 0.0046 Mt CO2e.
That makes Afghanistan's figure about 1.1 times Benin's.
The two have swapped places 6 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Afghanistan ahead.
Afghanistan ranks 103rd and Benin ranks 104th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Afghanistan averaged higher in 3 and Benin in 3.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the transportation sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.3.a Civil Aviation, 1.A.3.b_noRES Road Transportation no resuspension, 1.A.3.c Railways, 1.A.3.d Water-borne Navigation, 1.A.3.e Other Transportation. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
