Analysis
The most recent figure for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from building (energy) in Norway is 0.0671 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 0.3% on the previous year and up 7.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from building (energy) in Norway peaked at 0.2336 Mt CO2e in 1998 and was at its lowest, 0.0113 Mt CO2e, in 1974.
Norway ranks 91st 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.

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).
