Analysis
The most recent figure for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from agriculture in Kuwait is 0.1806 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
That represents a change of up 1.9% on the previous year and up 28.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from agriculture in Kuwait peaked at 0.1806 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0189 Mt CO2e, in 1991.
That places Kuwait 145th out of 201 countries with data for 2024, putting it 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).
