Analysis
The most recent figure for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial processes in Afghanistan is 0.1025 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
The figure is up 3.0% on the previous year and up 47.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial processes in Afghanistan peaked at 0.1047 Mt CO2e in 2021 and was at its lowest, 0.0099 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
Afghanistan ranks 128th of 203 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.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from industrial processes including IPCC 2006 codes 2.A.1 Cement production, 2.A.2 Lime production, 2.A.3 Glass Production, 2.A.4 Other Process Uses of Carbonates, 2.B Chemical Industry, 2.C Metal Industry, 2.D Non-Energy Products from Fuels and Solvent Use, 2.E Electronics Industry, 2.F Product Uses as Substitutes for Ozone Depleting Substances, 2.G Other Product Manufacture and Use and 5.A Indirect N2O emissions from the atmospheric deposition of nitrogen in NOx and NH3). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
