Analysis

The most recent figure for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Nepal is 0.0003 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.

The figure is unchanged over ten years.

Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Nepal peaked at 0.0003 Mt CO2e in 2001 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

Nepal ranks 136th of 187 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 fugitive emissions (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.1.bc Petroleum Refining - Manufacture of Solid Fuels and Other Energy Industries, 1.B.1 Solid Fuels, 1.B.2 Oil and Natural Gas, 5.B. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
