Analysis

Suriname recorded 0.0433 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from building (energy) in 2024.

The figure is up 3.8% on the previous year and up 44.8% over ten years.

Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from building (energy) in Suriname peaked at 0.0452 Mt CO2e in 2016 and was at its lowest, 0.0005 Mt CO2e, in 1983.

That places Suriname 106th out of 197 countries with data for 2024, putting it 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).
