Analysis

Benin recorded 0.0204 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.

The figure is up 27.5% over ten years.

Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Benin peaked at 0.0204 Mt CO2e in 2022 and was at its lowest, 0.0037 Mt CO2e, in 1997.

That places Benin 46th out of 187 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
