Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF over time
- Algeria
- Burkina Faso
How they compare
Algeria currently reports 6.8 Mt CO2e against 6.29 Mt CO2e in Burkina Faso, a difference of 0.51 Mt CO2e.
That makes Algeria's figure about 1.1 times Burkina Faso's.
The two have swapped places 6 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Algeria ahead.
Algeria ranks 59th and Burkina Faso ranks 60th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Algeria averaged higher in 5 and Burkina Faso in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Algeria | Burkina Faso | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 2.23 Mt CO2e | 1.44 Mt CO2e | 0.791 Mt CO2e | Algeria |
| 1980s | 3.08 Mt CO2e | 2.13 Mt CO2e | 0.948 Mt CO2e | Algeria |
| 1990s | 3.27 Mt CO2e | 3.01 Mt CO2e | 0.2608 Mt CO2e | Algeria |
| 2000s | 4.21 Mt CO2e | 4.47 Mt CO2e | 0.261 Mt CO2e | Burkina Faso |
| 2010s | 6.25 Mt CO2e | 5.91 Mt CO2e | 0.3385 Mt CO2e | Algeria |

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF.. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
