Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy) in Congo, 1970–2024
Source: EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission. Measured in Mt CO2e.
Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from building (energy) in Congo stood at 0.0546 Mt CO2e. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
The figure is up 15.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from building (energy) in Congo peaked at 0.0546 Mt CO2e in 2023 and was at its lowest, 0.0093 Mt CO2e, in 2000.
That places Congo 99th out of 197 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 building sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.4 Residential and other sectors, 1.A.5 Non-Specified. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
