Analysis

The most recent figure for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in Kuwait is 0.01 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.

The figure is up 4.2% on the previous year and up 42.9% over ten years.

Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in Kuwait peaked at 0.0157 Mt CO2e in 1989 and was at its lowest, 0.0005 Mt CO2e, in 1991.

That places Kuwait 92nd out of 193 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 industrial combustion (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.2 Manufacturing Industries and Construction. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
