Analysis

Bhutan recorded 0.0398 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial processes in 2024.

Compared with earlier readings it is down 1.5% on the previous year and up 9.0% over ten years.

Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial processes in Bhutan peaked at 0.0404 Mt CO2e in 2023 and was at its lowest, 0.0057 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

That places Bhutan 148th out of 203 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 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).
