Analysis

Malaysia recorded 0.1507 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from building (energy) in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.3% on the previous year and up 1,437.8% over ten years.

Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from building (energy) in Malaysia peaked at 0.1507 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0081 Mt CO2e, in 2004.

Malaysia ranks 60th of 197 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.

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).
