Burkina Faso vs Iraq: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF over time
- Burkina Faso
- Iraq
How they compare
Iraq currently reports 6.93 Mt CO2e against 6.29 Mt CO2e in Burkina Faso, a difference of 0.64 Mt CO2e.
That makes Iraq's figure about 1.1 times Burkina Faso's.
The two have swapped places 8 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Iraq ahead.
Burkina Faso ranks 60th and Iraq ranks 57th of 203 countries.
Iraq has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Burkina Faso | Iraq | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 1.44 Mt CO2e | 2.73 Mt CO2e | 1.29 Mt CO2e | Iraq |
| 1980s | 2.13 Mt CO2e | 3.48 Mt CO2e | 1.35 Mt CO2e | Iraq |
| 1990s | 3.01 Mt CO2e | 4.32 Mt CO2e | 1.3 Mt CO2e | Iraq |
| 2000s | 4.47 Mt CO2e | 4.53 Mt CO2e | 0.0587 Mt CO2e | Iraq |
| 2010s | 5.91 Mt CO2e | 5.97 Mt CO2e | 0.0639 Mt CO2e | Iraq |
| 2020s | 6.26 Mt CO2e | 6.44 Mt CO2e | 0.1844 Mt CO2e | Iraq |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

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).
