Analysis
The most recent figure for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from agriculture in Guinea is 3.58 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
The figure is up 3.1% on the previous year and up 53.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from agriculture in Guinea peaked at 3.58 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.4337 Mt CO2e, in 1986.
Guinea ranks 68th of 201 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agricultural sector. This includes emissions from livestock (IPCC 2006 codes 3.A.1 (enteric fermentation, 3.a.2 (manure management) and crops (IPCC 2006 codes 3.C.1 Emissions from biomass burning, 3.C.2 Liming, 3.C.3 Urea application, 3.C.4 Direct N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.5 Indirect N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.6 Indirect N2O Emissions from manure management, 3.C.7 Rice cultivations). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
