Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF over time
- Chad
- South Africa
How they compare
Chad currently reports 22.52 Mt CO2e against 19.05 Mt CO2e in South Africa, a difference of 3.47 Mt CO2e.
That makes Chad's figure about 1.2 times South Africa's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was South Africa ahead.
Chad ranks 23rd and South Africa ranks 26th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Chad averaged higher in 1 and South Africa in 5.

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).
