Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from building (energy) in Iran stood at 1.2 Mt CO2e.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 1.0% on the previous year and up 15.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from building (energy) in Iran peaked at 1.53 Mt CO2e in 1992 and was at its lowest, 0.1994 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Iran 13th out of 197 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 55 years of available data.

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).
