Peru vs Sub-Saharan Africa: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy) (Mt CO2e)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy) (Mt CO2e) over time
- Peru
- Sub-Saharan Africa
How they compare
Sub-Saharan Africa currently reports 2.96 Mt CO2e against 0.4417 Mt CO2e in Peru, a difference of 2.52 Mt CO2e.
That makes Sub-Saharan Africa's figure about 6.7 times Peru's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Sub-Saharan Africa has been ahead every year.
Peru ranks 34th and Sub-Saharan Africa ranks 31st of 194 countries.
Sub-Saharan Africa has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
