Analysis

In 2024, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from building (energy) in Egypt stood at 0.3388 Mt CO2e.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 5.5% on the previous year and up 9.0% over ten years.

Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from building (energy) in Egypt peaked at 0.7494 Mt CO2e in 2011 and was at its lowest, 0.0304 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

That places Egypt 34th out of 197 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

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).
