Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial processes in Romania stood at 2.09 Mt CO2e.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 3.8% on the previous year and down 22.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial processes in Romania peaked at 7.8 Mt CO2e in 1979 and was at its lowest, 1.77 Mt CO2e, in 2009.
That places Romania 32nd out of 203 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The long-run direction has been consistently falling across the 55 years of available data.

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).
