Analysis
Ethiopia recorded 2.63 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from building (energy) in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
The figure is up 0.7% on the previous year and up 19.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from building (energy) in Ethiopia peaked at 2.63 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.3263 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
Ethiopia ranks 5th of 197 countries on this measure, in the top 10%.
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).
