Algeria vs Sudan: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste over time
- Algeria
- Sudan
How they compare
Sudan currently reports 0.7824 Mt CO2e against 0.734 Mt CO2e in Algeria, a difference of 0.0484 Mt CO2e.
That makes Sudan's figure about 1.1 times Algeria's.
The two have swapped places 8 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Sudan ahead.
Algeria ranks 32nd and Sudan ranks 31st of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Algeria averaged higher in 3 and Sudan in 3.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the waste sector. This includes emissions from solid waste (IPCC 2006 codes 4.A Solid Waste Disposal, 4.B Biological Treatment of Solid Waste, 4.C Incineration and Open Burning of Waste) and wastewater treatment (IPCC 2006 code 4.D Wastewater Treatment and Discharge). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
