Libya vs Sudan: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Libya
- Sudan
How they compare
Libya currently reports 0.1834 Mt CO2e against 0.1707 Mt CO2e in Sudan, a difference of 0.0127 Mt CO2e.
That makes Libya's figure about 1.1 times Sudan's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Sudan ahead.
Libya ranks 49th and Sudan ranks 52nd of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Libya averaged higher in 5 and Sudan in 1.

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).
