Analysis

Kuwait recorded 0.0014 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from building (energy) in 2024.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 7.7% on the previous year and up 100.0% over ten years.

Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from building (energy) in Kuwait peaked at 0.0065 Mt CO2e in 1989 and was at its lowest, 0.0001 Mt CO2e, in 1991.

That places Kuwait 166th 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.

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).
