Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy) in Greenland, 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 Greenland stood at 0.0008 Mt CO2e.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 11.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from building (energy) in Greenland peaked at 0.0016 Mt CO2e in 2015 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Greenland 173rd out of 197 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.
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).
