Analysis

Laos recorded 0.0101 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.0% on the previous year and up 17.4% over ten years.

Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in Laos peaked at 0.0101 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

That places Laos 91st 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).
